Vol 1 - 60s & 70s

From the optimism of the Swinging Sixties to the glitter, rebellion and reinvention of the Seventies, these stories capture two decades that changed popular culture forever.

Inside you'll find ambitious young musicians, dreamers, outsiders, lovers, rebels and ordinary people whose lives are transformed by the music around them.

Inspired by everything from beat groups and folk clubs to psychedelia, glam rock, disco and punk, these tales explore the humour, heartache, excitement and nostalgia of an era when anything seemed possible.

Whether you lived through these decades or discovered them through the records left behind, PopFiction: 60s & 70s invites you to turn up the volume and step back into a world of unforgettable songs and unforgettable stories.

Inspired by the sounds of the Eighties and Nineties, these tales move from laughter to heartbreak, from nostalgia to mystery, celebrating the songs that became the soundtrack to a generation.
