For our eighth show dedicated to the girl group era, we find ourselves at the very peak of the genre – and at exactly the point when the writing was on the wall.

As 1963, drew to a close, girl groups were the biggest thing happening in popular music – It has been reported that a Chiffons record was playing on Dallas radio when they interrupted to announce that President Kennedy had been shot. In early 1964, a seismic shift took place as the Beatles attacked our shores with a sound that revived rock and roll, and set it on a new path.
