   #1 - Blazing a Trail

   S1:E17/17/2018

   The first act in Scotland's pop story takes in schoolboy skiffle, psychedelic folk revolution, a 'beat riot', gallus rock rebellion and the unique story of Scottish punk. The biggest names of the era - Lulu, Donovan, Nazareth, The Average White Band, and more - tell their stories in their own words about going from bedroom dreamers to international superstars.
