I'm with the band?




Hello, you lovely helpful people,

Can anyone suggest any novels based around the following areas, as I am having difficulty finding any!

~ the music scene of the sixties e.g. swinging London, the Merseybeat scene, anywhere else.....
~ fictionalised rock / pop bands ~ preferably the sixites, but any other era / music genre also of interest.
~ any other fiction set in or around the music industry.

Alternately, does anyone have any annecdotes about the music scene of the 1960's (1963-1967 ish) that they would be willing to share? Privately and anonymously if required....

Many thanks in advance, rock on!
Kate

See if you can borrow a copy of the factual book "Black Vinyl, White Powder" by Simon Napier-Bell. I say borrow because you are looking for a particular decade. If you are interested in the wheeling and dealing of the pop world in general, buy it.

It is full of those annecdotes you're after.
