A TASTE OF SUMMER

Tuesday 9 October 2007
2230-2330





A Taste of Summer marks the anniversary of an extraordinary musical and social flowering, when hundreds of thousands of hippies descended on San Francisco to protest against war and expand their minds.

1967 was the 'Summer of Love', when beatnik folk gave way to hippie rock and Hendrix set his Stratocaster ablaze.

This programme chronicles a community who danced to the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, believing they would still be dancing when the sun rose on a New Age.

Some of them are dancing still.
