I know Megan because I’m mates with one of her sons, Jake – or Jacob as she calls him. So, yes, you’re going to hear Megan talking about all of this, as well as other details like her other career as a clinical physiologist in neurophysiology in the National Health Service (that basically involves studying people’s brain waves) and just stuff about playing the bass guitar, how she’s still working on her technique and things like that. There were female singers, but you hardly ever saw girls actually playing instruments in bands, and so that was one of the unique things about The Applejacks. We’re talking about the early to mid 1960s. My guest is Megan Brady (although she was known as Megan Davies in those days) Megan was the bass guitar player in the band, and at the time it was quite uncommon to have a female musician in a group. I find it fascinating, I like the music and I like the stories of the people involved, and I hope you do too. The 1960s was a really fruitful period in terms of modern British culture and I am proud of that part of our history. Of course we know about The Beatles and The Rolling Stones but there was a whole wave of other groups from all over the UK who were playing a new form of music and so many young people were really into it, and that includes The Applejacks who were from the Birmingham area. My mum was a fan of The Applejacks, for example. They’re not one of the big bands that we now think of when we look back at the 1960s, and they didn’t really reach fame on an international level but they were certainly part of the scene, and were well known at the time. You might be thinking – which band was Megan in? Well the band was called The Applejacks – you might not have heard of them. So this is the story of Megan’s career in music in the 1960s.
