PEOPLES SONGS: THE STORY OF MODERN BRITAIN (PB)

Covering the last seven decades, this book looks at the 50 songs that have sound tracked our changing times, and - just sometimes - changed the way we feel. Beginning with Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again', a song that reassured a nation parted from their loved ones by the turmoil of war, and culminating with the manic energy of 'Bonkers', Dizzee Rascal's anthem for the push and rush of the 21st century inner city, it takes a tour of our island's pop music, and asks what it means to us.
