Listening The 60's
Date: 9th Jun 2018 @ 9:34pm
This term's listening pack is based on music from the 60's as it is our 50 year anniversary and so we first opened in 1968. Every song on the list was released in this year and all were the most possible songs of the time. The final song is a classical tune released at the same time. As usual, all the pop songs have a song facts page to tell you all about them, and the classical tune has a few notes attached to explain how it was written.
Comment on the blog with your opinion and suggest any other songs that we should have had from the 1968.
