Don’t they look like a happy pair? Neil Storey and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore enjoying chats after the book launch at Olympic Studios for the third edition of The Island Book of Records 1971-72.
A jolly night at Olympic Studios private members club at Barnes in SouthWest London, hosted by Giles Fraser….
Who he Ed? a bloke who knows a lot about communication. He is the cofounder of Brands2Life – voted UK’s top PR agency for technology, and healthcare with over 200 staff , and he’s also an author and writer for The Island Book of Records. Ironically Fraser’s last novel – Let’s Fly – is a thriller centred around the disasters that befall someone who has a windfall when his song gets included in a movie soundtrack.
A standing ovation at the end of the night, and Mr. Storey in disbelief of the wonderful audience. Happy Days… and another event tonight at the Walthamstow Rock and Roll Book club at the Mothers Ruin Gin Palace.
…. and a bit of a giveway in the background… the yellow cover for the 4th volume of The Island Book of Records 1973-74.
