Brixton Academy - Live at Brixton Academy Book

Sometimes you have to take a chance, and Simon Parkes is nothing if not a risk-taker. This book is the riotous story of a music impresario and how he turned a near-derelict hall into a legendary stage. In 1982, Parkes paid Ì_åÇí«̴å£1 for the building in Brixton that he spent the next fifteen years turning into one of Britain's most iconic music venues - and now he's telling his story: full of fond - and wild - reminiscences of the famous musicians who played at the venue, including Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Lou Reed, The Ramones, New Order, the Beastie Boys and The Smiths. This great story of how to succeed in business with no experience and fulfil your teenage fantasies is published in January 2014.
