256-pages of pop-tastic tales from Ronnie Hilton to Kaiser Chiefs

The Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and The Cribs have waved the pop flag high for Yorkshire in recent years. But there’s a whole multitude of pop stars from the White Rose County dating back to the early days of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

From Punk to Dance, Glam to Indie, Rock to Electronic, music coming out of Yorkshire has often been ground-breaking, inspirational, award-winning and record-breaking. Def Leppard can claim to be the biggest act to come from the region, and one of the most successful bands in the world. But many, many more have played their part in putting Yorkshire on the Musical Map.

From Ronnie Hilton, through Joe Cocker, David Coverdale, Jarvis Cocker, Mel B, to Richard Hawley, this is the story of Yorkshire Pop Music from the first rockers of the 1950s to the chart-toppers of today, looking at the influential contribution made to modern music’s development by the likes of Human League, Be Bop Deluxe, ABC, Saxon, Sisters of Mercy, Wedding Present, and Utah Saints.

I’ll Go To t’Foot Of Our Stage is a journey through fifty-odd years of pop pioneers, unsung heroes, one-hit wonders, and oh-so-nearlys, ending with the current proud crop of Yorkshire success stories.
