by Justin Lewis (Author)
'A brilliant musical almanac, compiled by an engaging writer whose musical knowledge is not just detailed but wide-ranging and generous.' Jonathan Coe, author, Bournville

And esteemed music writer Justin Lewis has compiled them all for you, informatively and divertingly.Justin Lewis has an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music and a deep understanding of what makes it such a passion for so many people as well as a lively and sharp sense for what can sometimes make it eccentric and absurd.

He lives in Swansea, in Wales.
