Rock'n'Roll Landmarks of the UK and Ireland

Pete Frame, celebrated author of 'Rock Family Trees', turns his impressive rock scholarship to the landscape of British rock'n'roll. He scours Britain and Ireland to expose the roots of hundreds of bands and solo artists both famous and forgotten.

Did you know:
- When 'Love Me Do' became a hit The Beatles played at Port Sunlight Village for just 30 pounds?
- Bob Dylan helped on a recording session in the basement of Dobell's Record Shop in London's Charing Cross Road?
- Crosby Stills & Nash planned the trio they would soon form at their Bayswater flat in 1968?
- When they first stayed overnight in London, The Stone Roses booked into the YMCA in Great Russell Street - until they were banned?
- Chief Talking Head David Byrne was born in Dumbarton in Scotland?
- Before they were famous, The Spice Girls lived together in a three bedroom house in Maidstone?
- The last known sighting of Manic Street Preacher Richey Edwards was when he checked out of the Embassy Hotel in Paddington in 1995?
- Melanie Blatt and Shazney Lewis named their band after All Saints Road in West London, W11, where they had both once worked as backing singers?
