Product Description
Let author Max Wooldridge take you on a magical musical tour of the long and winding road around England's rich rock and pop locations, from Canterbury to Coventry, Liverpool to London, and Woking to Wilmslow via Wigan. Never Mind the Bollards traces the development of each musical scene and genre: from the emergence of skiffle in the 1950s right through to today's synth-prodding female singer-songwriters. En route it showcases English rock and pop music’s stars and characters, and takes you to the momentous gigs and places where these musical heroes grew up and hung out. Bulging with stories, facts and anecdotes and crammed full of quality photographs, Never Mind the Bollards is an informative, entertaining and sometimes irreverent guide to English rock and pop music past and present.
