Musician Pete Townshend says he believes a new ballet version of his rock opera Quadrophenia will "resonate with new audiences".The co-founder of The Who is backing Quadrophenia, a Mod Ballet – based on his own music and the subsequent film about mods and rockers clashing in 1960s Brighton.

The ballet, which had its premiere in Plymouth, is touring venues around the UK in June and July.Townshend told BBC South East that he thought the story of rebellion and youth culture would make a "powerfully rhythmic and emotionally engaging ballet"."The themes of young people growing up in difficult times are still so relevant," he said.

"It's going to be tender, poignant, poetic and epic."More than 1,000 youths fought each other between 16 and 18 May 1964 in Brighton, in scenes which were later immortalised in Quadrophenia.

The rock opera was released in 1973, and the 1979 film, starring Sting, Ray Winstone, Phil Daniels, Toyah Willcox and Leslie Ash was set around the East Sussex city.

Townshend added: "Brighton has always been something special. It has a great history all of its own."The Old Bailey heard how Mr Ahmad had sent Ojiri messages on email and Instagram. "The defendant engaged in sales discussions and sales with Nazem Ahmad and his associates" over a 14-month period.

He explained how Ojiri's arrest came after people working in the art market were brought into the regulated sector in 2020, meaning they were bound by anti-money laundering and terrorist financing measures to report suspicious transactions or face prosecution.The TV star was charged under a section of the Terrorism Act 2000 that has never been used before. Police hope it will send a clear message to those doing business in the art world.
