Rock Family Trees

A series charting the musical and human dramas behind some of the best known rock and pop groups of the last 40 years. This programme traces the rapid rise and fall of the Mersey Beat scene in the early and mid-1960s, an era synonymous with the growth of the Beatles and the popularity of groups such as the Searchers, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J Kramer, the Swinging Blue Jeans and the Merseybeats.
