I Saw Her Standing There

New for 2022. A specially revised and extended edition with an additional forty pages featuring a prologue and epilogue by the legendary bands Hawkwind and Lindisfarne. It was 1979 and forgetting the politics, protests and strikes the music was ace. The glam rocker Marc Bolan had kick started the decade with a white swan and ten years later AC/DC were taking off on the highway to global domination with their powerfully loud and exciting live performances … the future of progressive rock was in safe hands and whatever the music genre the 1970s had it in overdrive. This was the time to be, no social media, mobile phones or texting sounds good hey! Everybody has a year, a time or a place that means something. For me it was that summer of 1979, Led Zeppelin's great epic last ever gig at Knebworth, I was there and it was a time when the world was young and I fell in love ... in love with a girl from a distant shore. This was the late 1970s when it was still cool to be children of the revolution and in a quest to fill our lives with freedom and peace there had to be a whole lotta love, other stuff and rock and roll and plenty of it there was as I tell the true tale of when two souls ….. two rebel hearts collided. This new edition also includes a selection of photographs of HRH Diana Princess of Wales published here for the very first time from the authors personal collection.
