'Flog

the 60s! Have a look at Kent
Auction Galleries website. Based in Folkestone, Kent, they tell
me that they "sell a lot of antiques at our auction but also
sell a good deal of 1950/60/70's bits along with art deco pieces which
go for peanuts as people don't think to come and see them". Got
to be worth a visit if you're in the area and after memorabilia!

It's
three books in one! A spy story, a time-travel adventure and
a responsible history of a remarkable age.
This is the 'at last it can be told' story of the Sixties by
the one person capable of telling it. Effortlessly moving in
its first-person narrative from London's rock scene to Berlin's
student radicals to Amsterdam's practical pranksters to a whole
range of American causes and crises, the author provides the
definitive answer to a soon-to-be-disgraced vice-president's
claim that all the national movements of the Sixties were guided
by an international conspiracy to the extent that "was
there any such plot, it was probably me". This book explains
how hope was born, struggled against all odds, and ultimately
prevailed during the Sixties, only to be forgotten by later
generations, and how such hope can be rekindled again today.
During the Sixties the author wrote for, and occasionally edited,
major underground newspapers in London, New York, Berlin and
Amsterdam. He was also the principal founder of the Art Workers
Coalition, a group of radical artists who demonstrated in New
York and elsewhere. Almost all of 'The Untold Sixties' was written
during the mid-Seventies, when these events were still fresh
in the author's mind, bringing the reader remarkably close to
reliving the Sixties in all their intensity. |

Matt Monro: The Singer’s Singer
: The Life and Music of Matt Monro A singer once said
“his pitch was right on the nose: his word enunciation
letter perfect: his understanding of a song thorough.
He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but
by his fans all over the world”. The singer was the
legendary Frank Sinatra, The man he spoke about: the
irreplaceable Matt Monro.
|
|
The Singer’s Singer: The Life and Music of Matt Monro, is
the highly-anticipated story of one of Britain’s most iconic
singers, tracing Matt Monro’s life from his poverty stricken
upbringing in post-war Britain to his day job as London
bus driver to the steady rise to fame that saw the singer
battling the highs and lows of the entertainment industry
to become one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers. This
is the man behind the image, the man who rubbed shoulders
with some of the most famous names in the business, who
recorded the very first James Bond theme song (“From Russia
with Love”), represented his country in Eurovision’s Song
Contest and Royal Command and recorded the international
hits “Softly as I Leave You”, “Born Free”, “Walk Away” and
“Portrait of My Love”. In an intimate portrait written by
the singer’s daughter, Michele Monro, and drawing on more
than two hundred interviews from the most important characters
in Matt’s life, The Singer’s Singer exposes the man behind
the voice, telling the story of how Terry Parson overcame
poverty, prejudice and alcoholism to arrive at the very
heart of the post-war British entertainment industry as
the unforgettable Matt Monro. Including never-before-seen
photography, exclusive correspondence between Matt and some
of the biggest names in the music business and a rich array
of personal anecdotes, this is the first comprehensive look
at the life of the man his peers dubbed ‘the Singer’s Singer’,
the irreplaceable Matt Monro.
