Local author Andy Wint is seeking memories from the Manx 'Beat Generation' in the era when local teenagers embraced skiffle, rock'n'roll and beat music. He's compiling a definitive record of Pop Culture in the 1950s and 60s in the Island which will be published by the Manx Heritage Foundation later this year. He's looking for photos, news clippings and personal memories of the groups, venues, cafes and personalities involved in the scene. Here's a video which sets out the ideas and may jog a few reminiscences:
