Guildford the Rock 'n' Roll Years Book by Nigel Enever
Foreword by David Rose
Guildford - the Rock 'n' Roll Years is a fascinating account of the Live Music scene in Guildford in the sixties. Nigel Enever takes us from the grass roots of a thriving skiffle scene through the rock 'n' rolling 60s playing gigs at the Civic Hall, The Wooden Bridge pub and the Ricky Tick. We stop off and sneak in a cheeky listen to the best records at Barnes & Avis, and witness the beginnings and evolution of our very own Andertons Music Company!
A comprehensive and detailed account that meshes together a great decade, and the birth of the music community in Guildford, with heart warming stories about a scene that still draws in crowds from miles away nearly fifty years later.
