Thanks so much to Record Collector Mag and Michael Heatley for their review of A Wandering Minstrel this month (Amazon KDP). "Deserved tribute to well-loved axeman." #Hawkwind #classicrock #progrock #leadguitarist

Den Browne and Louder Than War's thoughtful review: "A measured, gentle recounting of how an idealistic musician made a living without compromising … one of the most original and sensitive books I’ve read in a while." Thank you! louderthanwar.com/a-wandering-mi… via Louder Than War

Thanks to ProgMagazineUK for the review of 'A Wandering Minstrel'. Moving memoir of the Hawkwind guitarist by the woman who knew him best … this book takes us through the highs and lows of being an itinerant musician, as the title suggests. I loved the Leo Sayer story too!

I can never watch a Thin Lizzy clip without imaging Christmas Day around the table at the Crowther's...

Sad to hear that Andrew Lauder has died. Such an important figure in the British music industry. He signed/released many fantastic bands: Hawkwind, High Tide, Can, Amon Duul II, Dr Feelgood, Buzzcocks, Stranglers etc. And he gave me a great interview for Days Of The Underground.

Thanks to RnR magazine and Oz Hardwick for this interview with Marion on her memoir of #Hawkwind legend Huw Lloyd-Langton that I was privileged to help with this year. In paperback and via eBook now.
