Rolling Stones 1969 - part of the Cheltenham Lit Crawl 2019 Patrick Humphries talk
Cheltenham
Saturday 5th October 2019
18.00 - 19.00 pm - Arrive early as it will be busy!
Venue: Badlands Records, St Georges Place, GL50 3LA
Respected music author Patrick Humphries will be talking about his excellent book Rolling Stones 1969 at Badlands shop as part of the Cheltenham Lit Crawl 2019.
The event will start at 6.30pm and is free entry, but please arrive early as space in the shop may be limited.
Against a backdrop of social unrest and protests The Rolling Stones entered 1969 as a successful blues band that had experimented with psychedelia but were returning to their rock'n'roll roots. By the end of 1969 they had released a stone cold classic, lost one of their founding members, played an era defining concert at Hyde Park to half a million people and seen a fan stabbed to death at their concert in Altamont. This is the story of how 1969 cemented the Stones as 'the greatest rock & roll band in the world'.
