'Whether he's conducting radio interviews with Robert Plant while still living at home with mum and dad, playing an early part in the ascent of US (he remains close to them today) or simply describing the Irish music scene, its leaders and bit-players, the charm of the story is its engaging and self-deprecating reminiscing.' Record Collector 'Fanning talks from the heart' Irish Independent 'If you were a music-loving teenager in the 1980s and 1990s you owe a lot to Dave Fanning' Irish Times 'An entertaining look at fanning's career' Sunday Tribune Magazine 'A great read' RTE Guide Quotes about Dave Fanning... 'Legendary Irish DJ' The Independent 'One of the most familiar faces and voices in Irish broadcasting' - Olaf Tyaransen, contributing editor of Dublin's Hot Press Magazine 'Without Dave Fanning on the radio, music in Ireland would have had a poorer face. Dave changed things, opened up ears.' Irish DJ, author, and photographer BP Fallon

Described as the Irish John Peel, Dave Fanning has been a major player in the Irish and global music scene for over 30 years. In this compelling memoir, starting around the incarnation of 2FM, Ireland's equivalent of Radio 1, he gives the behind-the-scenes story of all the international musicians he has met., Described as the Irish John Peel, Dave Fanning has been a major player in the Irish and global music scene for over 30 years., Described as the Irish John Peel, Dave Fanning has been a major player in the Irish and global music scene for over 30 years. In this compelling memoir, RTE Radio 2 DJ Dave Fanning will give the behind-the-scenes story of all the international musicians he has met, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Who and many, many more. Dave's story starts in the 60s, when he discovered his love for Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and of course, The Beatles through the family subscription to the NME. This was to be his first glimpse of a world he would soon become an important part of. Graduating from pirate radio and a stint as Editor of Scene magazine, Dave joined RTE radio 2 when it launched in 1973, and quickly became the voice of a generation. Billboard magazine hailed him as the man solely responsible for the growth of Ireland's music industry. Renowned for supporting young, new Irish talent, Dave Fanning will detail the unique story of his role in the launch of U2 and his ongoing friendship with the band, delving into their humble beginnings and rise to fame. Including never-before-seen photographs and images from Dave's huge personal collection, this is an absolute must-have for any music fan and will be a significant contribution to the history of music.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
