Reminiscence Café - What was your musical decade?

Free, all welcome. Refreshments included.

1950s brought Rock and Roll to these shores, and shocked our parents and teachers. Elvis and Little Richard gave us a new and exciting sound that made us want to move and dance. The sixties took us on to soul and skiffle, Bob Dylan, with his guitar and folk, and the new pop groups, the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Seventies, and the flamboyant Glam Rock, with Queen, Abba and Bowie. Punk, hip hop and rap all followed, musical genres growing from previous generations and ever more inventive.

What was your favourite – perhaps not one mentioned here? What memories does it provoke? Where did you listen to music – in clubs, concert halls, dance halls, church – or at home with the radio or record player? Did your favourite music influence your leisure time, or work or the friends you made? And what about romance …..?

Come along to the Museum and share your memories over a cup of tea.
