Cool, since its sold out and i don't have any money; could you possibly just enlighten me with a terse summary & important points of your book. I will even recommend it to people.
‘Hi Just read the Book!
It's Fantastic!
I Highly Recommend any true Rockabilly or Ted to read this!
It's Grate!
I was around the South Coast at this time and I remember those days with a very big smile on my face and reading this bought back many simular fond memories of the same sort of events and reactions from other people!
I really did love them days.
Keep It Rockin'’
‘YEAH!!!!
ROCKABILLY UNDERGROUND LONDON 1980S
I ORDERED IT FROM E BAY , AND NOW ITS HERE!
JUST HAD A FLICK THOUGH, AND WOW, LOADS OF GREAT PICS OF THE 80S SCENE AS I REMEMBER IT!

‘It was neat to read something that proved just how biased and far wrong the media were and are - and that not all 'billies are dumb/racist/50s throwbacks etc (delete as appropriate). Only way it coulda been better was with a free CD of the top 10s and lots of colour pictures! easy greasy! ‘
‘Really great book - fast delivery - buy a couple and one for a friend!’
‘Rockabilly Underground is neither a memoir, an intellectual deconstruction, nor an oral history of a scene. It’s rather a book that hovers somewhere between the three and notches up the enjoyment factor by balancing itself between them all.
Taking the authors personal experiences of the scene as the skeletal basis, and muscling it out with oral recording of the movers and shakers gives an evocative overview of London in the eighties. While the interviews with Ray Campi and Mac Curtis add an outside view aspect that keeps the book from dropping to the levels of a vanity piece.’
It’s all rounded off nicely with what could be described as mini essays on the current state of the scene and what the future could hold for it.
To sum up, Rockabilly Underground is a very welcome record of an underrated and under served genre of musical history.
‘Your book is fab...arrived yesterday I sat down and read it in just over an hour....great old times...know most of the people that you have included. The Pheonix made me laugh...so many memories !!!!Lara was a blast from the past..Remember her on the stage dancing with the Jets at Hemsby in about 89!

‘Billy, a short note of congratulations on the book which I read and rapidly devoured this week,’A hard tightrope to walk, balancing off personal reminiscence, a roll call of personalities and clubs, comment and input from artists, but I think you captured a bit of everything’
