Thread Name: British Rock n Roll
Subject: RE: British Rock n Roll
I think Blindlemonsteve is alsolutely right re 'Move it.' When it was released, I assumed it was American and was amazed to find out that it was British. Early British rock was mainly played by session musicians - remember Don Lang and the Frantic Five or Lord Rockingham's Eleven? I bet Tommy Steel's 'Steelmen' weren't self taught kids but do correct me if I'm wrong! Cliff and the Shadows were, I think, the first genuinely home grown rock group.
