From school punk to modern day film producer Richard Jobson has
lived a full and colourful life. A harrowing incident as a child
that left him suffering with epilepsy but he was a mere 15 year old
when he launched the punk rock band The Skids in 1977 with his
songwriting partner Stuart Adamson. He was allowed to go on tour on
the condition that he received some education on the road. With hit
singles including the immortal 'Into The Valley', after four albums
The Skids folded and Jobson formed The Armoury Show whilst Adamson
moved on to form his new band Big Country. They remained friends
and their relationship is explored in detail throughout. In the
1980s Jobson became a familiar face on television as a presenter
and as film reviewer for Sky Television. In June 2013, he was
awarded an honorary degree (Doctor of Arts) from Edinburgh Napier
University. Today he is a successful filmmaker and this part of his
life story is also covered. With a life that has gone full circle
in 2017 he reactivated The Skids. A successful UK tour prompted
demand for more shows in 2018 as well as the band's first new album
for over three decades, making this the perfect time to write his
memoirs. Into The Valley is a riveting read of how one man overcame
his disability to become successful in the world of music and film
and will appeal particularly to fans of Punk Rock, The Skids and
Big Country.
