Carnaby St, the musicians moved in

Carnaby St, the Soho backstreet that spawned the swinging 60s:
The series chronicles the period in London from 1950-1978. Part 1 (1950-66) Britain comes out of War, The Beatles were formed and fashion and music centre around Carnaby St. Part 2 (1966-78) the height of Swinging London the summer of love The Beatles split and the youth revolution is over.
Carnaby Street, the Soho backstreet that spawned the swinging 60s tells the story how a generation that came out of war torn Britain started a cultural revolution that changed fashion and music forever. This was the time of sex, drugs and rock n roll, Mods, Hippies, female liberation, drugs and of course the summer of love.

I went from being a being surfing dude skateboarder and went to London for the Summer after high school and that's how I learned how to dress. It was watching The Who, Mick Jagger. The Kinks. I became so popular with girls and others after coming home looking all mod in California. It was so weird as I had no music abilities but people wanted me at parties thinking I was in a band. And my mom would throw out my clothes or burn them in the fireplace every week, then years later was wearing similar clothes with her friends. Sadly not many photos of those days as it was expenive to own a good camera and get film developed.

What made it unique was the doors were open and music was played.it had never been done before .

We should go back to the colorful clothes. I use some of that fashion today and I even have a union hack bed sheet. I should receive the British citizenship just for that.

It's so sad we dont have this kinda stuff these days. All we got now is fucking knee shorts T-shirts and backwards baseball caps.

The Walker Brothers and The Ivy League made London their base even though they were U.S. bands and were coupled with Jimi Hendrix as being London Afficionados though American.

Always Peter fucking Noone. You'd think that everyone else died or something....the only band more square than the Hermits was maybe Freddie and the fucking Dreamers.
