Rock Follies

Rock Follies, and its sequel, Rock Follies of '77, was a musical drama shown on British television in the 1970s. The storyline, over 12 episodes and two series, followed the ups and downs of a fictional female rock band called the "Little Ladies" as they struggled for recognition and success. The series starred Rula Lenska, Charlotte Cornwell and Julie Covington as the Little Ladies, with support from Emlyn Price, Beth Porter, Sue Jones-Davies, Stephen Moore and Little Nell among others. The series was made with a very low budget for Thames Television, with a style inspired by fringe theatre. The series was a success, winning three BAFTA Awards and the soundtrack album reaching No.1 in the UK Charts.

The single flops, and Anna tries to pin the blame on the fact that her harmonies had been redone by Dee, something that Q had not realised. Anna writes a new song, "Loose Change", and since the band 'owes' her, she is given more space to develop it and sing lead, unaware of its low quality. Kitty strikes a deal with obnoxious entrepreneur Johnny Britten for the Little Ladies to become the nightly house band at the Electric Empire, Britten's Watford club. The fact that Dee is clearly the best singer becomes evident when, for Anna's song, she performs backing vocals with Q — Kitty subsequently changes the lineup so that Dee sings the main vocal, and things sound much better, creating new discourse.
