Hairs on a G String is an auto-biography that will evoke a nostalgia in the breasts of many mature readers; a longing for a time that is past, a time when the band played on the Promenade, on theBandstand in the Park, at coffee mornings, Tea Dances ... An age when the Viennese Waltz and the William Tell Overture were in the 'top ten' of the day ...The first part of the book has connotations of Just William, with tales of mischief high~ lighted by delightfully witty illustrations. We gambol through the deliciousness of a boy's sexual awakening in the capable hands of the housemaid, Nelly, into the world of the Silent Movie with its musical accompaniment: memories of "Saturday pictures", the advent of the "talkies" and the need for thousands of musicians to find other avenues for their talents.
Mark's stories of the famous names in the musical world, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Thomas Beecham and Sir Adrian Boult, will charm and delight the reader - and these, together with a feast of recipes and memories of gourmet meals are guaranteed to enliven and rejuvenate the jaded palate ...

OK, maybe the shoes were new, but it struck me that he hardly ever sets foot in the street. It's all hotel, limousines, sterilized airports - the life I was about to lead. I shivered, feeling poised at the top of a rollercoaster about to sweep across the world." On 11 January 2016, the world was stunned to wake up to the news that David Bowie had died the day before. A genuine icon, he left behind a body of work among the most important in music history. But only a lucky few were privileged to know the man behind that mystique, and know him well. Sean Mayes was one of them. In 1978, Sean toured the world with David Bowie, in what was one of the most important periods in the artist's history. Travelling first class and performing each night with one of the world's greatest rock stars at the height of his fame was an amazing experience - fortunately, Sean had the foresight to document it. Here, in complete book form, Sean's tour diary is presented; a blow by blow record of how it felt to be part of a real rock circus. Providing page after page of fascinating insight into life on the road with Bowie, Sean's account is a unique travelogue, a must for any Bowie fan or, indeed, anyone interested in life on a sell-out world tour.

Lift the lid of your great-aunt's piano-stool and you will be sure to find a few drawing-room ballads. Here is a selection of the best of them from the Edwardian era. They brought pleasure and inspiration to millions of people, both in their own day and in the years since then. You will half-know many, for they were the hits of their time and are in the repertoires of famous singers even today: "Land of Hope and Glory", "Drake's Drum", "Glorious Devon", "I Hear you Calling Me", "Macushla", "Kashmiri Song". They strike a mingled chord of pride and nostalgia, for they were as much part of the fabric of Edwardian Britain as the musichall songs that are so well known. Drawing-room ballads were, in fact, the folk art of the middle-classes.Here is a delicious voyage of discovery back in time. The songs in this collection were originally introduced at Ballad Concerts run by the publishing house of Boosey by such celebrated artistes as Dame Clara Butt and John McCormack. The ones that met popular acclaim were rolled off the presses, despatched to all corners of the English-speaking world, rendered in smart drawing rooms, suburban parlours and colonial cabins, and recorded for the new Phonographs, Graphophones and Gramophones and eventually settled to rest beneath the seats of those innumerable piano-stools.

There are some songs which just ask to be sung. Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer, do! is an irresistibly catchy chorus. Almost everyone can join in After the ball is over or swing to the lilting melody of She is my Lily of Laguna. Most people recognize such heroines of the popular stage as Pretty Polly Perkins of Paddington Green or Oh! Susanna, and know heroes like The Man That Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo. And surely everyone can summon up a folk memory or two with those stalwarts of land and sea, Good-bye Dolly Gray and Rule Britannia. All these songs were written a century or more ago, and yet they are still as bright and compulsively singable as they were at the height of the Victorian era.This unique and delightful songbook brings together the most popular of the old favourites, songs that sent a whole generation of men and women flocking to the music halls and entertained them at home round the family piano. The book, compiled and presented by modern music hall artistes, is meant to be used. Each song is reproduced from original Victorian songsheets, with piano accompaniment and words large enough to be read by a fair-sized gathering behind the piano stool; each page is illustrated and decorated in the elaborate graphic style so beloved of the Victorians; and the whole collection of 60 songs, beautifully printed and finished with a register ribbon, is sewn and bound so that it will stay open in use and last through many a raucous sing-song.
With more than 250 photographs, engravings, paintings and other period illustrations and a full accompanying text, The Illustrated Victorian Songbook also paints in the social background, the pubs, the seamy song and supper rooms, the society drawing rooms, the gaslit music halls and the rival temperance coffee houses where the songs were sung, introduces star artistes like Marie Lloyd, Albert Chevalier and the Christy Minstrels and revives in all its charm and vitality the first great age of popular entertainment.
