Legendary music journalist Billy Sloan has been described as the John Peel of Scotland. He has interviewed musical icons and helped to launch the careers of huge international stars like Simple Minds and Lloyd Cole, all through his brilliant radio show and newspaper columns. Billed as "Scotland's No. 1 pop writer" in the era of Queen, Tina Turner, The Beatles and David Bowie, this is the story of four decades spent exploring the world with the most famous names in music, and how he helped take artists from obscurity to the bigtime.
Klappentext:
WHEN legendary music journalist Billy Sloan was fifteen years old he saw The Who play an incendiary live show at Green's Playhouse in Glasgow. It was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with music. Just a few years later he was backstage interviewing the likes of Keith Richards and David Bowie, at the height of Ziggy-mania, and it has been a life and career full of extraordinary moments.
In ONE LOVE, ONE LIFE, Billy now tells his stories from the stars, from skipping Christmas dinner to see The Sex Pistols at the peak of their notoriety to friendships and adventures with some of music's biggest names and scoops that have hit the headlines. As well as legendary music and gigs, there's Grace Jones in the bath, candid conversations with Rod Stewart, football in Brazil with Simple Minds, a tour of the White House with Paolo Nutini, close encounters with U2 and so much more. Plus, the interviews that definitely didn't go as planned.
Brilliantly entertaining and se aringly honest, ONE LOVE, ONE LIFE is an incredible insight into the music industry, the stars we love and an unmissable backstage pass for music fans everywhere.
