DURATION: 30 MINUTES
In the early 1960s British pop groups conquered the world. But as the Beatles, the Stones, the Shadows, the Dave Clark Five, the Yardbirds and many others took to the stage they had one thing in common - they shared the platform with Vox amplifiers. Some of the nation's top professional musicians including Queen's Brian May and Bruce Welch of the Shadows, along with the factory workers of the time, recount the story of how an unlikely small company in unglamorous Dartford hit the big time and defined the sound of the 60s in Britain. Presented by Iain Lee

My dad was on about this, apparently a great bit of info about vox being bought out by the company that makes Black Box recorders for planes, and they used all the money to put in to developing mor Black Boxes than amplifiers!
It's not on iplayer as yet, but they usually put it on after its repeated.
