If you miss the 90s, you don’t want to miss this!

I'm so excited to show you the front cover for my book, Three And A Half Minutes of Fame!
The book is out next month and a proper nostalgia trip for anyone who misses music from the 90's, covering my exploits as I try to make it big in various bands.
What to expect? Well, there is a LOT packed in, but here are some highlights:
Meeting Shane MacGowan.
Supporting Blur, Suede, Mega City Four, and other bands such as Sleeper, Radiohead, Jamiroquai, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Kingmaker, S***f, D.O.A, The Meat Puppets, Lagwagon and Chesney Hawkes.
Auditioning for Mansun.
Having a photo shoot with Patti Boyd.
Auditioning for Stomp.
Joining a boy band(!)
Visiting our record label in Los Angeles and nearly getting decked by the Boo-YAA Tribe.
Recording at the legendary Rockfield Studios with Hugh Jones.
Touring the UK, experiencing tragedy, drugs, mental health issues, sexual abuse.
