Press Release:
The book "Ace Times, speed thrills and tea spills,a cafe and a
culture" relates and illustrates the definitive history of London's
Ace Cafe, a roadside pull-in that opened in 1938 and became the most
famous haunt of the motorcycle riding "Ton-up kids" in the 50s and
the Rockers in the 60s. The book also tells the story of other venues
and cafes, like the 59 club, the Busy Bee and others elsewhere around
the country.
A substantial high quality hardback publication, over seventy years
in the making, packed with personal recollections and evocative
photographs, Ace Times also features the fastest motorcycles, the
loudest music, the iconic movies and the distinctive clothing and
styles of the cafe racing era. Burn ups, press hysteria, rock 'n'
roll riots, police baiting, Mods and Rockers, pirate radio, and loads
more besides, all unambiguously revealed.
Ace Times will be published in March 2011, but you can secure a copy
