'In the Spring of 1989, shortly after my twenty-seventh birthday,
as I stood in the sleet at a bus stop in Colchester, it dawned on
me that I had probably, all things considered, failed in my mission
to become Sting. At least, for the time being.' Lost in Music is
about growing up with pop music - about hearing it, buying it,
loving it, and attempting to play it in public for money. A
brilliant combination of the confessional and the unapologetic,
this is a book for anyone who has ever treasured vinyl, or sung
into a roll-on deodorant in front of the bedroom mirror and dreamed
of playing Wembley. Praise for Lost in Music 'Very, very funny . .
. Giles Smith is a wonderful writer' Nick Hornby 'A wonderfully
funny pop-music memoir . . . You don't have to know who Nik Kershaw
is to laugh out loud at the chapter about him' Sebastian Faulks,
Spectator 'One of the best books about music that you will ever
read . . . It is impossible to read Lost in Music without laughing
out loud' Daily Telegraph
