1963 Rockers in the mod era

The provenance of the following video from film-cans from the Pinewood stock is unknown. It is dated by British Pathé to 1963.

This 24-hour jiving marathon with £20 prize money took place in Barry, near Cardiff, in 1960 (ITV Wales archive). Note some out-and-out teds in the audience.

The film gives us a glimpse of a 16-year-old bequiffed Dave Edmunds playing lead guitar at the jive marathon in Barry in 1960.
