In November of 1994 I asked Alan Powell to do a Spotlight with me on the history of the Mod Movement. Alan was in an original British Mod band in the mid 1960's called Ivan's Meads. They were the most successful Mod band in Manchester. They recorded two singles and opened for the Who on occasion. After Ivan's Meads, Alan was in Richard Kent Style. In the 70's he worked with bands as diverse as Chicken Shack ( Christine Perfect ), Vinegar Joe ( Robert Palmer ( he also collaborated on song writing with Robert Palmer )), Hawkwind and Tanz Der Youth ( Brian James ). Around 1980 Alan moved to San Francisco and formed the band that recorded on 415 Records, Jo Allen and the Shapes. Also helping out with this Spotlight was his girlfriend at the time Harmony as she was then known to the late 70's SF Punk Scene.
