WASTED HEROES BOOK CLUB

I love a good music book and I’m currently reading Night People by Mark Ronson. I recently posted on Facebook and Instagram asking for recommendations and got a massive response.

Rather than searching through those posts next time I want a good read, I thought I’d collect everyone’s recommendations here.

I’m always open to adding more to the list, so feel free to send me a message with any other suggestions.

Also really looking forward to the release of Manchester Must Dance by Mike Pickering.
