This exhibition explores over half a century of popular music in and around Hatfield from the 1930s through to the 1970s.

Throughout the 20th Century the area grew as new businesses settled in the town and after the Second World War it was identified for expansion as one of a series of ‘new towns’. Alongside this growth came an expanding musical community ready to embrace the changing world of pop and rock music and dancing. We’ll explore how new venues sprung up to meet the needs of the community and how that community would also produce a range of talented musicians that would take their place on a national and sometimes international stage.
