Description
David Hamilton's Long and Winding Road chronicles his remarkable journey from a remote farm in Sussex, where he dreamt of the bright lights, to a broadcasting career spanning seven decades across the UK and America. This path eventually brought him back, after over fifty years, to the very farm where he started, from which he now broadcasts on national radio in his mid-eighties. Hamilton's journey took him to Germany, where he became one of the first DJs to play rock'n'roll during his National Service in the RAF. He also conducted one of the first TV interviews with a new band called The Beatles. With a career spanning thousands of radio shows and television programs, including Top of the Pops and beauty contests, Hamilton shares his experiences working with comedy legends like Ken Dodd, Benny Hill, and Tommy Cooper. In this candid memoir, Hamilton recounts his life, loves, and laughs, including surviving two serious car crashes in his twenties, participating in a speedway race at Wembley Stadium, and playing for the England team that won the World Cup in 1966.
