Customer Reviews

Mark Radcliffe, he's a gentleman of rock!...
A charming, and very funny insight into how rock and roll really isn't all glitz and glammer.

Mark takes us through the highs and lows of each of his bands with a light-hearted style of writing that is a pleasure to read.

His observations of performers he likes (or not!) are often highly amusing and anyone who enjoys his radio style should read this book at least once!

Musn't Gg-gg-grughmble
This wonderfully written piece of self-satire has me in stitches whenever I dip into it. Radcliffe's somewhat unique humour has been supurbly move from audio to written text

NOT JUST A VERY FUNNY DJ BUT A TRUE LITERARY ENTERTAINER.
Mark Radcliffe, known more for his afternoon session slot on BBC radio one than his colourful career in showbusiness, takes us thorough his personal passion - music and performing. The book desribes his many colourful friends and explains his musical life-long adventures from the local tennis club, through festivals abroad and of course ends with the world famous Mighty Horse appearance at Glastonbury. His ultimate goal acheived in playing in front of hundreds of heaving and sweating fans as he once did in his youth to the likes of David Bowie.

A truely entertaining book and a real insight into how difficult it is to start a musical career... (Law Student at UCL)
