ALAN HAWKSHAW - THE CHAMP- HAWK TALKS BOOK
A fascinating read from a very interesting man. Nice few pages on the Shadows amongst others.
Alan had been busy writing his memoirs which took a good few years of collating stories from many diaries and memories from a life less ordinary!
From his early childhood beginnings growing up in a modest working-class family in Leeds, through to becoming one of the UK's most successful and much loved musicians. Alan's writing is personable, riveting and hilarious... much like the man himself!
In a long and distinguished career spanning well over forty years, Alan Hawkshaw has always been at the top of his profession as one of the most in-demand studio musicians, owing to his virtuosic and sensitive technique on a variety of keyboard instruments, but most notably on the piano and Hammond organ.
As a composer, Alan Hawkshaw has written the music for more than 35 films and countless television programmes.
For all music lovers out there, Alan's autobiography will give you an insight into a fascinating career and even more fascinating man. The man is simply a legend!
This book is no longer in print, so once I sell out I will not be able to source more.
