The late 1960s saw progressive ideas emanate from the countercultural underground and revolutionise society. Challenging oppressive, outdated norms and expectations, a small number of individuals brought about far-reaching changes as they sought to attain a better world. Their idealism and actions helped mobilise a movement which continues to inspire modern activists and shape how we live today.
In 1966, a year after supervising Bob Dylan ‘going electric’ at the Newport Folk Festival, Joe Boyd co-founded the UFO club on London’s Tottenham Court Road – a seminal countercultural haven for psychedelic, LSD-laced ‘happenings’. He has produced records for artists including Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Toots and the Maytals and REM, and overseen the scoring of films including A Clockwork Orange. More recently, in his fortnightly podcast ‘Joe Boyd’s A-Z’, Boyd dips into his extensive music collection, sharing his insider knowledge and fascinating memories.
