On The Rock'n'Roll

On The Rock'n'roll: a history of making music on the dole and the extraordinary explosion of musical talent from the less privileged enabled by the British Welfare State, incorporating anecdotes, interviews, musical selections, social history, jobseekers, dirty squatters, social security scroungers, workshy fops, ponces and a whole load of cultural miscegenation – and how your life wouldn't be anywhere near as good without it.
