Description
In 1992, Horace's dream of becoming a rockstar with his band the Pointy Birds seemed within reach. However, his day job at a Soho record store was stealing all his time and energy. Then, someone called Ricky offered to manage the band, and finally, the dream could start. The story of the Pointy Birds is also that of a musical era, documenting the rise of some of the biggest British Britpop bands of the nineties. It's a tale of ambition, rivalry, and the challenges of making it in the music industry. With Ricky at the helm, the band may not have achieved fame or fortune, but they had a manager who did. The Pointy Birds' story is also closely tied to that of a comedian who went on to write a successful sitcom about a paper merchant in Slough. This book offers a unique insight into the music and comedy scenes of the 1990s, with a dash of humor and wit.
