A CONVENTION celebrating the classic film Quadrophenia has proved so successful the Worcester organiser is al-ready planning next year's.

Tim Evans, who owns movie memorabilia store Video-drome, in Broad Street, Worcester, said Target 30 - a weekend-long event dedicated to the cult 1979 movie about Mods - was outstanding. "It was the first show I've done on my own," said Mr Evans, who also runs event company Reel Events.

"It was the first time I had to book everything from the venue to the MC and food. But everything went really well. Better than that."

Target 30 took place in Brighton earlier this month and reunited the original cast from the film including Phil Daniels and Toyah Wilcox.

"We had a special cinema showing of the film which was fantastic," said Mr Evans. "We booked Toyah and Mark Wingett to introduce it, then John Altman and Phil Daniels came along to watch it. They stayed for the whole thing and, I think, that really impressed the rest of the audience. People were cheering and singing."

Another highlight was seeing hundreds of Mods riding scooters though Brighton and being greeted by the cast.

The event, which also saw Worcester historian and Quadrophenia fan Dilip Sar-kar interview cast on stage, was attended by people from all over the world.

"The feedback we've had has been incredible," said Mr Evans. "And people are already trying to buy tickets for next year."

The 2009 convention, again being held in Brighton in April, will mark 30 years since the film's release. To find out more go to www. quadcon.co.uk or call into Videodrome.

Quadrophenia was based on the 1973 rock opera album written by The Who and told the story of Jimmy, a Mod who is disillusioned with life and becomes caught up in the 1964 Brighton riots.
