The story of the second half of the sixties, featuring the icon music of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan.

A follow up to the very popular 2024 talk by Steve King, which was enjoyed by everyone.

In 1965 British music dominated the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and the Beatles were blazing a trail across the world. However, in America, the civil rights and anti-war movements were gaining momentum influencing a new breed of writers and musicians; electric folk was born, and album sales started to increase exponentially. This is the story of the second half of the sixties featuring the music of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan.
