Ciao Ciao Bambino: A Magical Memoir
Michael Head - Book - by Michael Head
(2025)
For over forty years, Michael Head has been creating inspirational music
that is rooted in the streets of Liverpool. He formed Pale Fountains
with his friend Chris McCaffrey in the early 1980s, and then after
McCaffrey tragically died from a brain tumour, he went on to create
Shack with his brother John. But during a career that has been beset
with tragedy, addiction, loss and bad luck, Head has continued to create
exceptional music - and in 2022 he had his biggest commercial success
with The Red Elastic Band's Dear Scott.
This is Head's story.
It is a story of growing up in Liverpool, of thwarted dreams,
self-sabotage, chronic substance abuse, homelessness and brushes with
death. It is also a story of an under-appreciated genius, of
transcendental songs and the healing power of art and music and family
and love.
This is the life-affirming story of Michael Head,
told in his own poetic voice, a man who walked barefoot over broken
glass for forty years before the world caught up with what the faithful
already knew: this man is Britain's greatest songwriter.
