McCourt also became involved in the mod revival of 1978 and 1979. The mod fanzine "Maximum Speed" identified him as one of the "faces" of the period, as did later books on the mod revival. His photograph was featured on the album liner of Secret Affair's "Glory Boys". McCourt wore the original skinhead and suedehead fashions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, which were quite different from the styles worn by many Oi! skinheads and white power skinheads of the 1980s.
