Talk by Jeff Evans

Freelance journalist and television historian Jeff Evans, author of Rock & Pop on British TV (Omnibus Press), tells the intriguing story of 60 years of music on television in this fully illustrated talk, beginning in the 1950s with shows such as Six-Five Special and Oh Boy! and continuing through the decades with programmes including Juke Box Jury, Thank Your Lucky Stars, Ready, Steady, Go!, Top of the Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test, as well as a number of programmes that you may just have forgotten.

Expect lots of warm memories and a few surprises.
