This book is an autobiography following John's life on the road
with the bands, musicians, celebrities and people he's met along
the way and the liggers he wishes he hadn't. It traces his 30 plus
years working as a roadie, a sound engineer, tour manager and
production manager. It tells what happens on-stage, off-stage,
back-stage, and what happens on those live television shows and in
the recording studios, at sound checks and rehearsals, on the tour
bus and in the hotels. The events and problems that happen on
tours, the good, bad and the disastrous. Did you ever wonder where
the real Spinal Tap stories came from? John 'Wilf' Wilford has been
there and seen it all in real life. From The Marquee Club to
Wembley Stadium, from The Newport Jazz Festival to The Hollywood
Bowl, the pubs, clubs, ballrooms, theatres, concert halls, arenas,
festivals and stadiums, they are all here. What it's like to work
for a band, a television studio, a sound company to owning his own
sound company. This is also a history and evolution of the Rock 'n'
Roll sound system as it came to be used in the entertainment
industry. How the sound system started out as a public address
system, evolving into a sound reinforcement system to what is now a
totally sophisticated digital sound mix.
