Release Info

Ian McNabb is one of the finest singer/songwriters Britain has produced over the past twenty-five years.
This is his long-awaited autobiography, spread over 380 pages & packed with exclusive photographs.
From his innocent first steps into the music business via the working men's social clubs in the mid-seventies to his success on the world stage in the eighties and beyond, this is one hell of a rock'n'roll rollercoaster ride.
Told to the reader as though they were sitting down over drinks with the man himself, this is both an exhilarating, exciting and frequently hilarious account of what it's like to tie oneself to the mast of your dream.
Told with a refreshing frankness and self-depreciating candor, the author steers us through his hits and misses seemingly without pausing for ink.
A Mercury prize nominated artist who got to play with many of his childhood heroes, plough his own furrow with seeming disregard for all but the quality of his music, and lived to tell the tale, this is the book for anyone who ever wanted to know what happens when you (almost) get everything you ever wanted.

"The sweetest guy in rock'n'roll. A legend as far as I am concerned." Alan McGee - founder of Creation records.

"A pure energy musician." Billy Talbot - bass player in Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

"He's a genius." Word magazine.

"A great read, I couldn't wait to see what happened next." Paul Du Noyer - author of 'Liverpool - Wondrous Place.'

"There's too many drugs and women get treated very badly." Pat McNabb - Ian's mum.
