Going back
and checking it out, ready for some more; hit that
floor the great days are back again. Sorry, but that
phrase has haunted me for years. Its a line from a
1982 tight fit record called back to the sixties.
Some fantastic music was made in the 60s but my introduction
to a lot of it, was from that record.
The sixties
are often referred to as a watershed in the uk youth
culture, what went before was swept away by the kids
who just wanted to do their own thing. the seeds of
this change may well have been sown in the 50s when
rationing was still in effect and the country was
recovering from the war. By contrast the American
economy was booming and a new wave of popular music,
rock n roll was taking the music charts by storm.
The young people of Britain were developing their
own independent sounds and pop styles, a fusion of
blues, uk rock'n'roll and rhythm and blues ensured
the teen scene had arrived. Groups from the UK like
the beatles, the kinks and the rolling stones became
world famous.
However
not all acts took themselves so seriously screaming
lord such confessed a total lack of vocal talent but
made many records anyway. My mother organised dances
back in the early 60s and regularly booked acts like
lord such and said "although his singing was
terrible the outrageous show was a spectacle in itself
and he has probably influenced many other stage performers
since". Music was no longer just about the music
but also the stage performance.
if you
are planning a 60s music theme night pro mobile
disco can help. Since the early 1980s
we have performed at many retro 60s music
nights and have a huge selection of 60's music.
From experience we know what are the most popular
tunes from the first golden age of British pop. Or
if you like, you can always play that record by tight
fit.
