This exhibition (at the Herbert Art
Gallery & Museum from 3 October 2009
to 7 February 2010) celebrated Coventry's rich musical heritage from the 1950s to the present day.

For many people the pinnacle of the city's musical success came with 2 Tone, when The Specials and The Selecter created a distinctive sound which reached an international audience.

Yet, Coventry has produced many other talented and successful artists, from Frank Ifield and Vince Hill, through The Sorrows, The Mighty Avengers and Lieutenant Pigeon, to Hazel O' Connor, King, Panjabi MC and Stereo Nation and current chart successes, The Enemy.

This exhibition highlights their achievements.
