A wonderful book about the art gallerist Robert Fraser (‘Groovy Bob’), who sold artworks to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and was a flamboyantly influential figure in the ‘60s world. Harriet Vyner’s book inspired me to write and record an album of songs entitled ‘Robert Fraser’s Groovy Arts Club Band’. This was launched along with an exhibition of the same name at Gazelli Art House, Dover St, London W1. Recently, I quoted the book in my talk ‘Colin Self, the Sixties & Robert Fraser’s Groovy Arts Club Band’ delivered at Norwich Castle on 5th July 2025. ‘Groovy Bob’ is essential reading if you have any interest in the Sixties and that era’s continuing influence.

To the Gallows With Breughal

I love Breughal and a few years ago I went from UK to Vienna just to see some, especially Hunters In The Snow. So to come across someone who travelled the world to find this great artist's works was intriguing. This is a down-to-earth book, a very personal journey full of intimate thoughts, strange, new (to me) revelations and parallels and a dreamlike quality that nevertheless educates painlessly! I loved it And learned a lot. And only a fiver!! 😃

A brilliant book about a nearly-forgotten band

A brilliant book about a nearly-forgotten band, but thankfully this book rectifies that. Written by the surviving drummer and bassist, it is full of stories about their time in Hamburg & touring round Germany & Japan. A must for anyone who loves the Liverpool Merseybeat scene and the hard-driving music it produced.

Hockney’s rare photographs

I’m delighted that I bought a copy of David Hockney’s past icon work. Not many pages but so worthwhile! If only there were 10 stars, I would have rated this publication so highly!

Photo-book

The book was quite a hefty one for the price. The photographs were magnificent portraying city scenes at night when human life was absent, giving the places a life of their own.
It just wants me to take my camera phone out and explore the city streets I've in,at night.
