It's Part 2 of 60 years of maximum rock and roll!
In July, The Beatles caused a minor riot as 3,000 teens flock to the airport to see the Fab Four's... plane.
In Oct 1964, The Quests reached #1 with "Shanty", knocking The Beatles off the top spot!
That same month, local and international bands took part in a charity concert, called the 8.30 Special, for the benefit of the victims and their families of the race riots that occurred in July and Sept that year.
As the year comes to a close, the future looks bright for the local music scene, with bands and singers like The Checkmates, Shirley Nair, The Silver Strings, The Cyclones, Andy Young, The Trailers, The Thunderbirds, Veronica Young, Naomi and The Boys, Vernon Cornelius making headway.
