REVIEWS:
Skiffle, the Prodigy, McCartney, Oasis
. The years best
rock books...McDevitt is ideally placed to spill all the relevant beans about
the craze that caused almost as much stir here as
rocknroll."
THE SUNDAY TIMES (Robert Sandall)
Chas McDevitts excellent history of Skiffle
..All you
ever wanted to know about the music that inspired
rocknroll."
VERDICT ****THE DAILY MAIL (Val Hennessey)
These exciting times are described in detail by McDevitt in an
absorbing book liberally illustrated with pictures & billboards of the
era.
YORKSHIRE Evening Post
"The book is a solid and comprehensive account of a fascinating
period..."
NEWCASTLE Evening Chronicle (Peter Fairley)
If you want to know more about the extraordinary Skiffle scene,
you can do no better than to refer to McDevitts new book.
THE STAGE (Simon Blumenfeld)
I stayed up half the night reading this superbly researched book
.
This is a must have book for anyone seriously interested in popular
music."
BUCKS FREE PRESS (Harry Warschauer)
McDevitts book is racy at the beginning, serious in the middle and
provides excellent discographies at the end. It will not be possible to write
again about popular music in this century without reading it first."
FREEDOM (John Pilgrim)
McDevitt tells Skiffles story in the third-person, pulling
this off without becoming contrived."
MoJo (Ken Hunt)
A rattling good time with the Skiffle kings.
THE DAILY EXPRESS (Philip Norman)
