History of British Rock 'n' Roll

The later years of the 1960s saw the rise in more avant-garde

music as artists and musicians began to experiment with

mind altering substances.

Beginning with the hippie movement in America and

rapidly spreading across the Atlantic to Britain, this period

in music saw bands such as The Beatles - free from their

touring commitments - together with The Rolling Stones,

Pink Floyd and many others make use of sensory altering

concoctions to reach new heights of artistic creativity.

This is the story of those years.
