Third Tuesday of the month at the Coordinator's home.

Do you think about those great songs from the 1960s through to the 1990s and beyond, would you like to listen to them again with like-minded friends? The group is for listening, discussing and reminiscing about the many genres of popular music that cover that period – think pop, soul, glam rock, prog rock, protest, electronic, punk, house and all the other types of music that we have heard. Each month, a member chooses from a list of topics related to Classic Rock and Pop Music as a focus for a meeting.

The first meeting was about The Beatles: each member chose 2 tracks, plus accompanying YouTube videos, to discuss/talk about and we also had discussions about their early years and by the lesser known songwriter, George Harrison.The second meeting was about Female Vocal, Individual or GroupThis resulted in a wide variety of different tastes in music including Joni Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, Haim, Dusty Springfield, Annie Lennox, Yvonne Fair, Judith Durham, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patti Smith, Grace Slick.
