Three locally based organisations are cooperating on an aural history project designed to discover how the arrival of rock'n'roll in the UK sixty years ago affected life in Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Southgate and Enfield. The question being posed by Joe Studman of Jaywalks, Sue Beard of Palmers Green Jewel in the North and Southgate District Civic Trust is:
Do you remember the first days of rock and roll? How did it impact on you and your family? What did you wear and where did you go out to meet your friends? If you have memories to share, or would be interested in being interviewed, or have photographs or memorabilia from that era, we’d love to hear from you.
The researchers will put together all the information they receive from people living in the area in the mid-1950s to create an exhibition, publication or website next year, the 60th anniversary of Bill Haley's Shake, Rattle and Roll.
