Shared Passion One day two teenagers,who hadn’t seen each other since primary school,met at a railway station on the way to college.One was carrying some blues records under his arm,and they began talking about the music and so began a lifelong friendship.In a club they got talking to a guitarist,who asked them if they wanted to join a band he was forming.They found a place to practice and recruited a drummer and a bass player.The group,which was named after a song title,played their first gig and were soon attracting a loyal following.Their first album contained mostly covers,but soon they were writing their own material.Within two years they had their first number one hit;within five they were millionaires.Popular Pastime This could be the story of any number of bands in the last five decades,although it happens to be the Rolling Stones.Whether it is playing in a group,joining a choir or being part of an orchestra,music-making in Britain has always been a very social activity.And Shared Passion One day two teenagers, who had not seen each other since primary school, met at a railway station on the way to college.
