In the early sixties a new wave of rhythm and blues swept into Australia. It had a Liverpool accent and came in the cardboard suitcases of young British migrants. They were skinny kids with long hair and tight suits, who did strange tribal dances to a sound born in the Mississippi Delta. They called it beat music - black music for white teenagers, it shook up an entire generation. A quarter of a million British-born migrants came to Australia in that era, among them were names that would dominate three decades of Australian popular music. Australia began to forge its own musical identity. Featured artists include Twilights, Masters Apprentices, Dinah Lee, The Easybeats, The Loved Ones, The Seekers, Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs and Wild Cherries.
