Description
Norman Jay MBE's life story is one of heart and spirit, as well as a powerful account of growing up in London's Notting Hill during the Windrush era. This enthralling biography recounts his experiences on football terraces, in the emerging club scene, and how he took American music and gave it a distinctly London twist to forge a successful career as a trailblazing DJ and broadcaster. Alongside tales of adventures across the country, Northern Soul nights, warehouse parties, and pirate radio, Jay's story is also one of perseverance and integrity. From his early days helping to define a new British culture, to the highs and lows of the Notting Hill carnival and the burgeoning British dance music scene, Mister Good Times offers an unflinching look at a life lived on one's own terms. With its vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in British cultural history, this book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in music, culture, or the experiences of the Windrush generation.
