An Open Ear On The Past
The title for this site is taken from the book, whose cover you see to the left of this text, a history of the music scene, in Birmingham, from the mid nineteen fifties to the mid nineteen sixties, and the influence it has had on the overall British music scene.This site is a logical expansion of a web page on another of our websites, you'll see alot of the same links and such here. The page has been moved here from our Sam and leila website, and is now the introduction to this, The Brum Rocked site.
For the original inspiration, massive thanks are due to John R, Woodhouse, whose incredible Brumbeat website is linked to all over the place, the names linked, to the right, are a small sampling of the whole site, a tease, you might say. Two names, those of Dave Swarbrick and Dave Pegg, are very special, because they are The Brum connection with the finest band that has ever existed, Fairport Convention,(Actually there was an all Brummie Fairport line up, for a short period of time, and we'll get to them, eventually) There will be two different website links for each of them.So many names, so many bands,you'll reconize alot of the individual band members, we think...... Yes, there were alot of other places, besides London, that produced great music, from the mid fifties to the mid sixties....This is one of 'em
Two notes: What we're doing here is, providing links to the musicians as they were, and where possible, what those same musicians are up to now. Secondly, the Union Jack at the bottom of the links column will take you to a site that shows what was going on in the sixties throughout Britain, this, we hope will add prespective to the music scene of the time, as a whole, in other words, equal time for all. Can't say fairer than that now, can you?
