A selective, but fairly exhaustive list of who played where and when in Bournemouth and the surrounding area in 1960. The list is prefixed with a brief summary of artists who made an impression in the UK music charts that year.
The dates below were collated from archived copies of the Bournemouth Evening Echo and Bournemouth Times held at the Bournemouth Central Library.
The top one hundred bestselling singles in the UK Hit Parade during 1960 were mostly by male solo artists such as Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, Anthony Newley, Ken Dodd, Tommy Steele, Lonnie Donegan, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Jones, Jim Reeves, Neil Sedaka, Perry Como, and Craig Douglas. The only British groups to crack the top one hundred were The Shadows with “Apache” and “Man of Mystery” and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates with “Shaking All Over”. Amazingly, Shirley Bassey, the Kay Sisters, Connie Francis, and Brenda Lee were the only females to muster a top one hundred placing, unless you count Nina of Nina & Frederick and Sophia Loren, who teamed up with Peter Sellers for the novelty hit “Goodness Gracious Me“. The best-selling single of the year was “Cathy’s Clown” by the Everly Brothers.
