London Rock background

London Rock

Documentary covering the counter-culture in London in 1970, featuring performances from Rod Stewart and the Faces, Linda Lewis and Fairport Convention.

What do rock groups Fairport Convention and Rod Stewart's Faces have in common with Druids and Stonehenge? A return to the English paganism of that period in popular music when English Bands were turning to native rituals and folk ballads to inspire their latest songs. A weird wedding of London sophistication and rural traditions, electronic wizardry and Druid rites. The film includes interviews and performances by such groups as The Faces, Jethro Tull, Marc Bolan and Fairport Convention, as well as rare footage of the rock -accompanied Solstice ceremony celebrated at Stonehenge in 1969, Druids and all.
