“Jazz. Folk.
Calypso. Music Hall.
Skiffle. Blues. Ballads. Agit Prop. Highlife. Lowlifes.
Beatniks. Modernists. Anarchists.
Communists. Chancers. Charmers.
Tormented Thinkers. Theatre
Revolutionaries. Pop Pioneers. Cockney Visionaries. Soho Adventurers.”
That’s what was promised in the most ambitious of all the issues of
YHO. The twenty-second edition was
effectively a short book, 60-odd pages long, and perhaps there was the thought
someone would come along and suggest turning it into something more. It didn’t happen, which is a relief really as
there’s always something else to add or explore. The cover star was Lionel Bart, and
Per-Christian Hille did the design and layout to make it seem rather more
professional than usual.
Among
those also mentioned in this edition of YHO are:
Ø
Joan Littlewood and Theatre Workshop
Ø
Colin MacInnes
Ø
Denis Preston
Ø
Ewan MacColl
Ø
Val Wilmer
Ø
Wolf Mankowitz

Anthony Newley
