An Eyewitness account of the gritty world of Rock ‘n’ Roll during the Swinging 60s.
It was one of the most exciting decades in British history – the 1960s. Post-war Britain was ready for change and youth culture was taking on the establishment.
The world was changing rapidly, and Colin was at the heart of it.
In 1961, while on their first holiday without parents, Colin and friends get involved in the first major confrontation between the Mods and Rockers, two distinct youth subcultures easily recognizable by their dress code and hairstyles. It makes front-page headlines in all the national newspapers and signals a sea change in popular culture.
Exhilarated, the boys form a band and an exciting adventure unfolds as they grow from playing music in school youth clubs to sharing the stage with touring American rock ‘n’ roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis.
Further success arrives for The Candles as they become the desired support band for many emerging acts like The Who, The Dave Clark Five, Tom Jones and The Merseybeats: groups that went on to be part of the ‘British Invasion’ into America.
Learn about life on the road, the backstage antics, the camaraderie, and what it was like sharing the stage and dressing rooms with these superstar groups who shaped the sounds and culture of a revolutionary age.
