Owning Up: A Trilogy of Memoirs by George Melly This single volume brings together three remarkable memoirs from the life of George Melly, a true original. The collection includes Scouse Mouse, Rum, Bum & Concertina and Owning Up, with a new introduction by the author. Melly's stories are both humorous and touching, offering a unique glimpse into his unconventional childhood, his experiences in National Service, and his rise to prominence in the world of jazz. From his early days as an anarchist and Surrealist art enthusiast to his later years working in an art gallery and surrounded by the vibrant music scene of 1950s London, Melly's life is a fascinating tale of self-discovery and creative expression. With its unique blend of humor, wit, and insight into the world of jazz and art, Owning Up: A Trilogy of Memoirs is a compelling read for anyone interested in the lives of those who have shaped the cultural landscape.
