Synopsis

The autobiography of one of the leading French Horn players of his generation, in orchestral, chamber music, jazz , film and commercial music, who is now a writer composer and conductor. Terry Johns during a 45 year career as a player worked with the composers, Benjamin Britten, William Walton, Leonard Bernstein, Andre Previn and with John Williams on the Star Wars trilogy, Superman and the Indiana Jones films.. In the London studios he worked with many of the great singers of his day including Tony Bennet, Barbara Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Jack Jones and Peggy Lee. This is a personal account of a life in a difficult, uncertain profession and the way in which the changing political climate in Britain affected it. Terry Johns’s father was a miner in South Wales and the book contains interesting parallels between the miners’ struggle for their industry’s survival and those of the music profession, beset with budget cuts, a major strike against the BBC and the digital revolution in recording.
