LONGLISTED FOR THE PENDERYN MUSIC PRIZE 2017 The coke-fuelled mania
behind pop's greatest successes Tom Watkins is the famously
entertaining pop Svengali with killer commercial instincts and
prodigious talent for design. He propelled the Pet Shop Boys, Bros
and East 17, among others, to global stardom, all whilst
maintaining a savage hedonistic lifestyle and a stellar art
collection. His fingerprints are all over British pop, and he's
decided the time has come for a tell-all autobiography about the
business behind the stars that shaped your life in the 80s and 90s.
Follow Tom's journey from his humble boyhood in post-war South-East
London, to his teenage misdeeds and the birth of Rock and Roll; his
days as a design student under the tutelage of Terence Conran and
Rodney Fitch, to the excesses of the 80s and 90s where he became
one of the original boy band innovators - the driving force behind
the pop icons plastered on the walls of teenage girls' bedrooms.
Funny, unstoppable and outspoken, a razor-sharp and greatly
respected businessman, marketing visionary, designer and art
collector, Tom takes us through his extraordinary and colourful
life into the inner-circle of 80s pop-culture. From hobnobbing with
Bruce Sprinsteen to bust-ups with Bros, Tom has seen it all. Expect
a gripping, gossipy, meticulously researched memoir of the
drug-addled 80s and 90s, layered on top of an insightful and
intelligent portrait of a recent but very different age, from the
singular perspective of a man who played a huge role in defining
the era and paved the way for industry moguls like Simon Cowell and
Louis Walsh.
