Time Traveller
1950s Music

The Briatin 1950s culture have been overshadowed by the war which preceded them and the lively sixties which followed. Although fashion and 1950s light music such as soft rock music and classic rock music are having a revival today, it is still difficult to understand what it was like to live at that time in Britain. History rarely falls neatly into decades and the 1950s life and British culture are no
exception. In the first few years Britain was still recovering from the war, but by 1959 Harold Macmillan was able to boast, `You've never had it so good', and an artistic and social revolt of British culture against the Establishment had started which continued into the sixties. If a time traveller from the present day could be taken to a British town in 1950, he would immediately notice the dilapidated, unpainted buildings and the shabbily dressed people. On an average wage of £68s a week there was little to spare for entertainment in Britain 50s family activities. Britain Suburban High Streets were deserted at night. An evening out for British ordinary young people generally meant the pictures or listen to top rock music with pop rock music backgrounds and dance.
