Rainbow Valley is a monthly podcast where your host, Scott takes a look at key events and personalities that shaped one the most influential, vibrant, tumultuous and swinging decades in history. Join us as we celebrate the 1960's with the stories surrounding the music and news events of the decade that shook the world.

The first year of this remarkable decade would bring us the cold war, the space race, traffic wardens and royal births and weddings. Television would play a major part this year with the first ever televised trial, Grand National and presidential debate. Major changes in Africa. Natural disasters worldwide. A new president, Coronation Street and The Flintstones. Along with The Shadows, Connie Francis and Elvis Presley…

Ladies and gentlemen, Rainbow Valley is proud to present the story of the hits and headlines of 1960.
