Hrají: T.P. McKenna, Margaret Nolan, Elisabeth Sladen, George Martin, Mona Washbourne

Jsou čtyři, pochází z Liverpoolu, hrají zatraceně dobrý rokenrol a nejmenují se Beatles! Gerry and the Pacemakers jsou žhavým objevem roku, fanynky po nich šílí a k dopravním komplikacím dochází, kdekoliv se hoši objeví. Kapela, složená napůl ze studentů malířství a dělníků, začíná s večerním vystupováním po klubech, ale nevynechá jedinou příležitost zahrát si cestou do práce na trajektu či u oběda. Jejich kariéra nabere obrat, když Gerryho dívka Dodie přemluví ke spolupráci vlivného manažera Jacka Hansona.

2) THE WHO : GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2015

The Who closed the final day of Glastonbury Festival in true rock and roll style, trashing the stage and swearing at backstage staff. The band fronted by guitarist Pete Townshend and lead singer Roger Daltrey stormed the stage opening with their signature tune Who Are You? followed by favourites My Generation and Baba O'Riley. Townshend repeatedly complained about the sound, shouting to backstage "it's f***ing c**p", before Daltrey pulled over a plastic screen and knocked over microphones so they could hear the drums better.

The rockers made a swipe at Saturday's headliner rapper Kanye West, telling the crowd: "We're going to make a big f***ing rebellion; yeah, who's the biggest rock star in the world? It must be Elvis Presley." During his set, the rapper had declared that he was "the biggest rock star in the world". Fans were full of praise for the energetic set, although some punters thought that Daltrey had a point with his complaints about the sound quality. One user wrote: “I was great to see the who at Glastonbury last night, Roger Daltry is right though, the sound system is c**p, the vocal mike was rubbish (sic)” Another summed the night up perfectly, tweeting: "The Who at Glastonbury #masterclass"

Meanwhile, it appears the My Generation rock gods could be calling it a day as they look to stop performing after their current tour.
