Described as the Irish John Peel, Dave Fanning has been a major player in the Irish and global music scene for over 30 years.
In this compelling memoir, RTE Radio 2 DJ Dave Fanning will give the behind-the-scenes story of all the international musicians he has met, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Who and many, many more.
Dave's story starts in the 60s, when he discovered his love for Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and of course, The Beatles through the family subscription to the NME. This was to be his first glimpse of a world he would soon become an important part of.
Graduating from pirate radio and a stint as Editor of Scene magazine, Dave joined RTE radio 2 when it launched in 1973, and quickly became the voice of a generation. Billboard magazine hailed him as the man solely responsible for the growth of Ireland's music industry.
Renowned for supporting young, new Irish talent, Dave Fanning will detail the unique story of his role in the launch of U2 and his ongoing friendship with the band, delving into their humble beginnings and rise to fame. Including never-before-seen photographs and images from Dave's huge personal collection, this is an absolute must-have for any music fan and will be a significant contribution to the history of music.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. The Thing Is. Crease to corner front cover. Foreword by Bono. For the past thirty years, Dave Fanning has entertained the Irish nation with quality new music and candid interviews from the world's most iconic names in music and film. But Dave's story didn't start with his RTE radio show, or his discovery of U2 - arguably the biggest band in the world today - it began in the Sixties when he discovered his love for Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and, of course, the Beatles through his brother's subscription to NME. This was to be his first glimpse of a world in which he would soon become an important part. Now, for the first time, Dave tells his own unique story in his typically self-deprecating style. it is a story filled with never-before-heard tock 'n' roll anecdotes and jaw-dropping tales of Hollywood A-listers. But most importantly, it is the story of one ordinary man who made an extraordinary contribution to Ireland's musical landscape. Illustrated. 302 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
