Strumming that guitar

I would like to know more about rock 'n' roll in England – Oasis, the Beatles, and something about the music.   Howard, Beijing

The term ‘rock ‘n roll’ was first used by a disc jockey in the USA, and soon the music spread all over the world. But what about British rock ‘n roll? And who are some of the greats?

From Cliff Richard to the Rolling Stones, Andrea and Sun Chen find out more about the music.

Who were the Fab Four? And how have they influenced rock bands like Oasis?

Discover a bit more about Britain’s rock history in this week’s Ask About Britain.
