1950s Rock and Roll Themed Wedding Photo shoot

The year is 1959, the early days of British Rock 'n' Roll. The future Beatles were 16 years old and playing skiffle. The charts contained an odd mixture of crummy stuff, American imports and a very British version of that great US invention: Rock 'n' Roll. Bridie and the Bridettes were a trail-blazing all-girl British Rock 'n' Roll band. They played instruments, sang and were appearing at 'The Spin-a-Disc Cafe' in Chippenham. We've tried to recreate that gig. Take a look (images: Mark Cornwell):
