It’s Trad Dad

Helen Shapiro – Craig Douglas 1962
In the new town of Bad Trad, England, a battle is ensuing between the generations regarding the older generation’s view of the disruptive nature of what teenagers are listening to, what is considered popular music of the day, namely jazz. The fight for the older generation is led by the mayor of the town, who ultimately passes an ordinance requiring a license to broadcast such entertainment. The fight for the teenagers is led by Helen and Craig, who decide the best way to show that jazz is not disruptive is to hold a jazz music festival.
