Despite numerous predictions that ‘rock is dead’, it has survived. Fans are attending more gigs and more festivals than ever before and the guitar is definitely back as the weapon of choice.
From the UK electric blues boom, via the psychedelic rock of the late 60s; from the 70s punk explosion and on to the rise of grunge and indie rock in the 80s and beyond, Seven Ages of Rock tells the story of the music itself – with contributions from some of the biggest names in rock.
