  This title presents a lively personal expose of the rock music scene in Oxford in the 1960's and 70's. Many rare and unpublished photos. Read how: The Beatles came to Oxford (3 times); the Rolling Stones had to spend GBP1,000 on a flight to appear at Magdalen College; when 30 people turned up to hear Status Quo and how David Bowie appeared at Oxford's Town Hall all dressed up like radiator lagging...Contrast this with local band history, collected memoriabilia and the fleeting presences on the Oxford Stage - whatever did happen to Shag Connors and the Carrot Crunches (and his live chicken)? This title is written and collated by Trevor Hayward - 40 year rock musician and broadcaster on BBC Radio Oxford. Bring back the good times.
