Produktbeschreibung
Rick Lorimer is a bruised veteran of the music business. His band, The Poppyseeds, built up a strong cult following on the pub circuit before the record companies came knocking, propelling Rick and his merry band of rough-edged rockers into a giddy world of mainstream success - eventually performing in front of over fifty thousand people as the support act to one of the biggest bands in England. This is his story - a fast-paced tale of friendship and love, trust and betrayal, magic and madness... and the ever-present threat of growing older and wiser, set against the fractious backdrop of Britain in the late seventies and early eighties - a land of youth cults, street violence, high unemployment, Radio One Roadshows, Northern Soul, and Cheggers Plays Pop.
