Book by Ian Clayton

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'A magical roller coaster that unfurled beyond the confines of the fairground, looping and winding and soaring around time barriers, oceans and continents through every kind of weather.' --Robert Wyatt

The best read I've had all year, at times very funny, genuinely touching and always deeply personal. The perfect book for anyone who has defined their life through music and the memories of their youth.' --Joanne Harris

Ian Clayton is a warm, witty, funny, loving man and that shows in this brilliant compendium of true stories. This is a beautiful book, I think you will enjoy it whatever walk of life you are from. --Richard Hawley

Présentation de l'éditeur

'Ian's book is of a piece with the man; generous, funny and wise. This is written with a tenderness that only the strongest can aspire to. He describes it, astutely, as the soundtrack to a life and the music embraces everything from half-forgotten music-hall songs to the outer limits of jazz, blues and folk. But beneath these sounds he hears the secret music of the common people - from the mining towns of Yorkshire to the Mississippi Delta - the joy of community and the devastation of loss and betrayal. The final chapter - about Billie Holiday Clayton - is the bravest piece of writing I've ever read. It is, as Lady Day sang, but beautiful.' Alan Plater
