The cities in the UK had their own club scene which was very different from the charts, with both live performers and specialist DJs.
Clubs in the early 60’s, particularly in London, weren’t about playing the latest chart hits, they were more into Rhythm & Blues, soul, modern jazz or bluebeat (later known as Ska).
At its best, the Club scene provided a meeting place for the fashionable young - a place to dance, listen to their favourite sounds and new music from the USA and Jamaica.
A fuller version of this will appear within the 60s articles, which are under preparation.
