Controversy

Original Members Robbie Grey and Mic Conroy have used the internet to promote that Mr. Mason was never a member of Modern English. Management records, public records, film and television appearances refute their claims. They are touring now as Modern English without a major record label or booking agents. Modern English does have management and still tours. Ted Mason had shows cancelled due to the shows not being the true Modern English.
