Volume 2 takes the story from the mid-1960s to the 1990s as Black British music grew beyond the work of arrivants, passers-through and isolated individuals to become a music of communities who were here to stay, who created a richly hybrid music from multiple sources and even began to influence the musics of the societies from which their parents came.

This book focuses on Hendrix the songwriter, a superlative storyteller who was able to combine melody, lyric and arrangement in order to create pieces that take pride of place in the pantheon of post-war popular music.
