Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Raving Upon Thames as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I grew up in south-west London, and still live here.
My formative years were spent going to rock gigs in local clubs, pubs, and colleges, when bands like Genesis, Black Sabbath, the Soft Machine, and Pink Floyd were still playing in small venues. Queen’s Brian May went to my school, as did half of the Yardbirds.
This book reflects that era, particularly the amazing goings-on at Eel Pie Island in Twickenham, where gigs were held in a crumbling hotel infested with hippies and other ne’er-do-wells… including me and some of my closest friends.
From Peter's list on musicians and music from all genres.
