Pompey Lad - Part Two: Part Two 1969-1965 The Rock ‘n’ Roll Years 2

George East

We join George East at the start of the 60's when Rock 'n' Roll was in its infancy. Young men and women throughout the UK are dancing the night away as they experience teenagehood. Following the US with music, fashion and a new-found freedom. Eventually coming into their own, we see the start of a new era of English fashion and music with the likes of The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones and more locally, The Stormriders, the latest name for George's errant band.

"Because of the vast quantities of beer, acid (LSD), upper and downer pills, scrumpy cider and whacky baccy ingested at the time, my memories of the Sixties are understandably patchy in parts. To fill in the blanks, I'm grateful for the help of surviving contemporaries, old friends, foes and lovers, and, when available, police and court records and the recollections of arresting officers. My escapades were perhaps extreme, but I think my experiences and adventures in the so-called Swinging Sixties were broadly similar to millions of young men and women at a time when British society changed dramatically from the grey post-war years to what seemed to many a new and exciting world. Whether you believe it was a change for the better or worse will I think depend on your age, attitude and how much fun you had in those far-off days."
