Rock’n’Roll Unravelled tells the story of rock’n’roll, from its roots in gospel, blues, jazz, folk, rockabilly, country music and R&B, up until it turned full circle the mid-1970s.  Punk rock emerged and took the music back to simple songs played in small, intimate venues. 

 

As well as the stories of the artists and bands, Rock’n’Roll Unravelled looks at the external events that influenced the music, such as the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights struggle the Cold War and much, much more.

 

Rock’n’Roll Unravelled’s unique three-part structure results in the total being greater than the sum of its parts and brings the story of the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s vividly to life.
