I Was There : Dispatches from a Life in Rock and Roll
Godfather of British Music PR - Book - by Alan Edwards
(2024)
An insider's view of operating inside the world of David Bowie, Michael
Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney and a gaggle of A+ listers'
MojoAlan Edwards, the godfather of British music PR, has worked with
some of the most legendary artists of our time, from David Bowie to the
Spice Girls via the Rolling Stones, the Stranglers, Prince and Amy
Winehouse. In I Was There, he describes getting his break in the
mid-'70s as a scruffy, stoned 20-year-old just back from the hippie
trail; his encounter with London's thriving punk scene, which inspired
him to set up his own PR company; broadening his horizons as his work
with the likes of Blondie takes him to the US and beyond; and his move
into the world of pop with the Spice Girls during the tabloid-crazed
'90s.
At the centre of this story sits the defining
relationship of Edwards' career: his close, thirty-year collaboration
with David Bowie. He guides us through a series of vivid, funny, always
insightful behind-the-scenes reports, whether he's playing a spontaneous
game of football with Bob Marley, listening to Prince discuss the
future of civilisation in a nightclub VIP area, or being used as a pawn
in the power struggle between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Above
all, we're treated to Edwards' fascinating observations about the
brilliant artists he was worked with and what makes them tick, as he
looks back on his role in the last five decades of music and culture.
