It's time for The Thursday Rock Show, or perhaps this week it should be (Not Quite) The Thursday Rock Show, because to coincide with Sheringham's annual 1940's weekend we're going to take a look at some of the songs from that decade that strongly influenced the birth of rock 'n' roll music in the 1950's. So put your blackout curtains up and get your ration books ready to listen to some of the most influential artists of the 1940's.
