Hello! I’m a UK-based author of around 20 books, mostly focusing on my main interests of British Beat Groups and the American music that inspired them. These publications have been positively reviewed in ‘Record Collector’, ‘Shindig!’, ‘Now Dig This!’, ‘Mojo’, ‘Ugly Things’, ‘Wired Up!’, ‘Rock ‘n’ Reel’, ‘The Beat’, ‘Elvis: The Man and His Music’, ‘The Strange Brew’, ‘Folkrocks’, ‘Sixties City’, ‘Thunderbolt’, ‘Darren’s Music Blog’, ‘Maggie’s Blue Suede News’, ‘The Daily Beatle’, ‘Making Time’ & more. I’ve also been interviewed on many Radio shows, in the UK (Spencer Leigh’s ‘On The Beat’, ‘Good Afternoon with Jacqui James’, ‘Mark Punter’s Vintage Vinyl’ and Chris West on Academy FM), the USA (‘The Ray Carr Show’, ‘We Say Yeah Podcast’) and Australia (‘The Plastic EP Show’), as well as spoken about my work at a Literary Festival and written CD sleeve notes.
