This studio would become a creative hub for like-minded artists, producing early recordings for local post-punkers Clock DVA and those coming from further afield like New Order and 23 Skidoo.

Indeed, Sheffield was soon to become more-or-less the epicentre of UK clubbing; partygoers from across the country flocked to the famous Gatecrasher nights that took place at Republic and The Leadmill (two more industrial facility-cum-music hubs), and Warps own monthly club night Blech that featured legendary artists such as Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada before they became household names. Davis also played harmonica with a breathy syncopation unlike anything Ive ever heard on the instrument. One of the groups to make it was The Shirelles.

This experimentalism would go on to influence many of the great Dutch bands of the 1970s and 1980s, as well as a new generation of Dutch rockers who are making their mark on the music scene today. In honor of those great bands, here is a list of the 100+ best rock bands of the 60s. All nighters and famous names in 1960s Sheffield. While not all of these bands enjoyed mainstream success, many of them have gone on to become cult classics. Also predating the early-60s revival, Arkansas native Jimmie Driftwood took the old fiddle tunes, some going back to pre-Civil War days, and added his own lyrics, recording them in the late 50s in Nashville (though he too, like so many others, also appears on Vanguards Newport Festival recordings). The Tremors were a Derbyshire band, we used to go to Lathkilldale Hotel every Sunday to see them.
