Talkin bout my generation

From evergreen rock 'n' roll legend Chuck Berry’s appearance in the ‘60s to the influx of britpop bands such as Blur, Pulp and Radiohead in the ‘90s – via some impromptu shows from Amy Winehouse and Bombay Bicycle Club in the 2000s and 2010s – Sussex has played host to some truly era-defining acts down the years.
