Rock Goes to College: Paul Sexton
The hectic, hugely entertaining, and definitive story of the wonderful & amateurish British university gig scene that launched the career of some of the world’s most famous bands.
As rock exploded around the world and the album era began, so young bands and solo acts would sling their gear into their trusty Ford Transits and bomb up and down the new motorway system to university and polytechnic campuses all over the UK, honing their sound and hoping to get signed.
