In the early 1960s there was a music revolution happening centred on Richmond on Thames.
The Rolling Stones built their career there but so did The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were all locals who honed their talent by the Thames.
Music festivals are now a major feature of national UK life but the very first one happened in Richmond in 1961.
The geographical roots of the music revolution that gave the world the bands and the guitarists is told in Andrew Humphrey's book Raving Upon Thames
