Flame Music: Rock and Roll is Life: Part II Summary

Flame Music: Rock and Roll is Life: Part II: The True Story of Resurgam Records by One Who Was There by D.J. Taylor

It's 1978 and Nick Du Pont, one-time PR man to Sixties rock behemoths the Helium Kids, is back in London and bent on founding his own record label. A new kind of music - sharp, hard and dangerous - is bursting onto the airwaves on both sides of the Atlantic and Nick wants a slice of the action - in particular, the work of The Flame Throwers, the most provocative assemblage of street-smart desperadoes ever to hail from downtown Los Angeles. Picking up from where the highly-praised Rock and Roll is Life (2018) left off, this is the story of Resurgam Records and the personal traumas and tragedies that attended its coruscating rise - until the time when, as so invariably happens, the dancers shuffle to a halt and the music stops.

Flame Music: Rock and Roll is Life: Part II Reviews

One of the finest of our twenty-first century novelists. * A.N. Wilson *
