His memoirs record the excitement, the glamour, and the hard work of life in pubs, clubs, and venues across the country, and the chance meetings and lifelong friendships that grew out of it.
It’s also the story of a young boy growing up, discovering his sexuality, and finding icons and role models who help show him the way. The ‘heroes’ who made a lasting impression.
This is a book about love, the need for kinship, and the sense of freedom that comes with being yourself. It will make you laugh, and feel better about the world. It will make you cry. And, above all, it will surprise you.
An inspiring and moving read.
“Join the party and tuck into a cornucopia of ticklish memoirs, celebrating fifty glorious years of legalised love, and starring some unforgetable meetings with personal heroes, heroines
and queer icons from the world of entertainment.”
“Unless we share our stories, our history is lost.”
‘A Marvellous Party’ is a heartfelt tribute to those who inspired, influenced, and held the torch that lit the way.view less
