Wales in the Sixties - BBC Archive Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Colour archive, personal stories and a killer sixties soundtrack - this people's history tells the extraordinary story of the rebellion by the younger generation who came of age in the 1960s, and transformed Wales forever. Andy Fairweather Low, Sharon Morgan, Kim Howells, Heather Jones and others reveal their secret life as sixties teenagers. Like many others they rejected chapel values and looked to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Carnaby Street for inspiration.
I lived in Cardiff in the sixties, this is how Wales was back then. I loved the whole thing it brought back so many memories. I am now looking for Part 2.
I was born in 1966. In my late 20s I was talking about the 1960s to a guy who was two decades older than me. I said, "I feel like I missed something." He said, "You did."
This is just about South Wales! I'm from the North and we didn't have the 11 plus. Anglesey had four comprehensive schools. I started at the Holyhead one in 1958.
We were not well off and had no money for records or concerts. The radio was permanently tuned to the Welsh programmes. I knew very little about pop music.
This programme does not mention real Welsh culture at all - male voice choirs, penillion singing, the Eisteddfod etc. It also has the usual BBC bias against Christianity.
Growing up dreaming of famous rock stars, now it’s THEM whose famous! ❤
I attended the 1st Welsh school Glan Clwyd in Rhyl .It was opened in the 50 ies all subjects were taught in Welsh .Bendigedig !!
it is so dreary the emphasis on Tiger Bay when so many estates existed.
6:30 See what I mean!!! LLanrumney 'NEAR' Cardiff .. how bloody stupid is that then?
I am from LLanrumney and unfortunately passed the 11 plus. Had to go to Howardian, never played with the kids in the street again! Andy lived up past the top shops, I lived down the bottom. Mind you it was only 5 minutes from the Countryside and stuff all like Tiger Bay that media folks keep banging on about! :-)
I actually saw the Beatles play at The Capitol.... couldn't hear a bloody thing with all the screaming :-)
Where the bloody hell is part 2!!!!
Cardiffi the 60s i think this is. Shocking
Where's Part 2?
if you want to know what wales was like in the 60s, go there today!
A predjudiced one sided typical BBC view of life.
Wales? Yes Cardiff, Cardiff, Cardiff.
is there part 2 ?
What Wales were they living in? Wales is the land of choirs and soloists , not pop singers .
6:33 llanrumney may have been a long way from cardiff centre, but it WAS still within cardiff boundary. Us llanrumnians were still Cardiffians lol!
Where is part 2???
😂 he’s close the book and then he’d have second wind… ha I know it too well. Loved this film
I speak Turkish and I’m welsh crossed Japanese
Neil Sinclair was an asset to Cardiff
Oh yeah, the 60's. Oh no this 2022 isn't a patch on the old decade.beam me back ! I've seen enough !

See, no reference to being offended. Presumptuous Snowflake. Stick to welch if English is too complex for your inbred brain.
BBC crap
yea it is for the most part. I cannot say for sure but I feel like most Welsh kids couldnt have so much fun back then. I certainly hope they did but... Was it possible? Did very many Welsh kids have the money for this kinda stuff? Going to shows and whatnot. Cheesy documentary anyway
stacyblue1980 A lot of poverty then and now.
The Beatles were so overrated and their music was boring!
Doctor ~ you need to do a little more !
What? Doctor Dolittle you need to see a Doctor fast
Obviously “not there”, doc.
@Christopher Wackrow I beg to differ
sadly betrayed the WELSH language and you end up with no welshness .
Utterly unrepresentative
