This book by Harker is the best thing ever on the topic. I read it twice. Wonderful must have book and cd for your library. It is not about the song and ridley so much as a complete and comprehensive study of the music and music industry of the period. Wide in scope and well annotated- get yous today! Cant be a geordie without one!

a must have book! Get yours here!

The whole package comprises, book, CD or songs and a video of a drama/documentary. All are beautifully done and a lovely package. Perhaps not 'the best thing ever' but certainly up there with the classics.
