'The Everything But The Girl frontwoman and former Marine Girl seizes our attention because she never asks for it, and in that her authorial voice is like her singing voice, soft and low, magnetic' Zoe Williams, Guardian
'Bedsit Disco Queen is that most satisfying thing, a book that pulls back the veil with candour and humour, while charting a social history of UK pop with Zelig-like perspective' Kitty Empire, Observer
'An intensely readable account of thirty years of being in love with music ... Warm, assertive, sweetly funny, but most of all honest' Chris Harvey, Daily Telegraph
'Tracey Thorn is not your average pop star. This is probably the key to why Bedsit Disco Queen is so good -- as idiosyncratic, clever and entertaining as you'd expect' Claire Black, Scotsman
I was only sixteen when I bought an electric guitar and joined a band. A year later, I formed an all-girl band called the Marine Girls and played gigs, and signed to an indie label, and started releasing records.
Then, for eighteen years, between 1982 and 2000, I was one half of the group Everything But the Girl. In that time, we released nine albums and sold nine million records. We went on countless tours, had hit singles and flop singles, were reviewed and interviewed to within an inch of our lives. I've been in the charts, out of them, back in. I've seen myself described as an indie darling, a middle-of-the-road nobody and a disco diva. I haven't always fitted in, you see, and that's made me face up to the realities of a pop career - there are thrills and wonders to be experienced, yes, but also moments of doubt, mistakes, violent lifestyle changes from luxury to squalor and back again, sometimes within minutes.
