I intend that to be my holiday read for an upcoming week in West Dorset.
Did you see the interview with Moth before he walked the London Marathon? He came across just as I thought he would be, nice bloke.
No but my wife (who's also read the books) and I often talk about him on our own walks and conclude he must be as you say ,"a nice bloke".

Pie and Mash down the Roman road, Malanie McGrath, a big portion of the East end markets history of the last 100 years, a cracking read.

'All The Young Dudes' - Campbell Devine's biography of Mott The Hoople and their lead singer Ian Hunter (who has had a lengthy solo career since the band's break-up in late 1974) is a comprehensive and extensively researched tome which reads well. The first edition which I've just read (with thanks to a fellow Mott and Ian Hunter fan) was published in 1999 and takes us up to '98, so just over a decade before the band's reunion concerts in 2009. This development was certainly not envisaged in the book.

This is probably only for Mott and Ian fans, and maybe for those of Mick Ronson too, as 'Ronno' figures in the latter half of the book quite regularly due to his brief appearance in MTH in '74 and in working with Ian Hunter intermittently from 1975 until his untimely death in 1993.

A small complaint (due to my irritation at such things) was the repeated misspelling of 'preceded' several times. It was spelt here with two 'e's after the 'c' several times. It's played havoc with my sense of order. Outrageous, I tell you!
