When rock went to college : legends live at Lancaster University, 1969-1985

Barry Lucas and Paul Tomlinson have documented an amazing chapter in the history of Lancaster University in a superb and very large new book.

It contains tales of the halcyon days when Paul McCartney was playing football on campus waiting to hear if the Uni would allow him to play a gig that evening, when Harvey Goldsmith asked if finals could be moved to accommodate The Rolling Stones, and Queen played for just GBP40!

If you were a student at Lancaster during this time you may (or may not!) remember some of these events, anecdotes or images, but truly, there is something for anyone connected with the uni, then or now.
