Hercules! Bok
<p>Comprising a vivid and varied series of miniature biographies, revealing profiles, thought-provoking essays and a multitude of previously unknown anecdotes and quotes, <i>Hercules!: The A to Z of Elton John</i> is the perfect compendium for the casual fan or devoted connoisseur, providing a funny, comprehensive and fully alphabetised overview of the star's life and music.<br/><br/>Charting all the highs and lows, the major record releases and the significant tours, the strokes of genius and the bottoms of barrels, this insightful portrait will cover serious subjects such as Elton's battle with the media, his highly publicised addictions, his route to sobriety, his tangled love life and his struggles to come to terms with his sexuality, hair loss and temper. But, as Elton himself always does so well in the hundreds of interviews he has given over the past half-century, his stories will also be told frankly and humorously, his demons now conquered and his success unrelenting.<br/><br/>And at the heart of this book is a joyride through one of the all-time greatest musical catalogues from a brilliant, versatile, glamorous and universally loved pop superstar.</p>

Tomorrow's Here Today Bok
<p>Few musicians have lived a musical life as rich as the songwriter and producer Ian Broudie.<br/><br/>From recording the glorious uplifting psychedelic pop of his band The Lightning Seeds to producing bands like Echo & The Bunnymen and The Fall, Ian has journeyed from the energy and potential of the 1970s punk scene to the madness of '90s indie - and out the other side.<br/><br/>Throughout nearly fifty years of making music, he has had a front-row seat working with generations of fantastic musicians in the creation of countless groundbreaking records. In <i>Tomorrow's Here Today</i>, he reveals what he has learnt about creativity, how to work with musicians touched by genius and what it is like to stumble through an exploding industry without losing sight of your dreams.<br/><br/>Along the way, Ian shares how he wrote the million-selling album <i>Jollification</i> and how - along with the comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner - he wrote and recorded the only single in chart history to reach number one in the UK on four separate occasions. 'Three Lions' has since become the undisputed unofficial anthem of English football, soundtracking heartbreaking defeats as well as the wondrous victories of the Lionesses.<br/><br/>Following 2022's long-awaited Lightning Seeds comeback, Ian reflects on a life of cosmic adventures spent in thrall to the power of music.</p>

<p>WHEN legendary music journalist Billy Sloan was fifteen years old he saw <b>The Who</b> play an incendiary live show at Green's Playhouse in Glasgow. It was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with music.

As well as legendary music and gigs, there's Grace Jones in the bath, candid conversations with <b>Rod Stewart</b>, football in Brazil with <b>Simple Minds</b>, a tour of the White House with <b>Paolo Nutini</b>, close encounters with <b>U2 </b>and so much more. Plus, the interviews that definitely didn't go as planned.<br/><br/><b>Brilliantly entertaining and searingly honest, ONE LOVE, ONE LIFE is an incredible insight into the music industry, the stars we love and an unmissable backstage pass for music fans everywhere.</b></p>

Diaghilev's Empire Bok
<p><b>'Deliciously entertaining.' <i>Financial Times</i></b><br/><br/><b>'Scintillating . . . fizzes with balletic energy.' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br/><br/><b>'Gripping . . . bursting with extraordinary characters and anecdotes.' <i>Sunday Telegraph</i></b><br/><br/><b>'An extraordinary tale, enthrallingly told.' </b><i><b>Gramophone</b></i><br/><br/>Such was the credo of the ruthlessly manipulative and resourceful Serge Diaghilev - the Russian impresario who created the modern art form of ballet. Commissioning such legendary names as Nijinsky, Fokine, Stravinsky and Picasso, he produced a series of radically original works that had a revolutionary impact throughout the Western world. Off stage there was scandal and sensation, collaboration and competition, tempestuous affairs and a wild carousel of mayhem.<br/><br/>The Ballet Russes left a matchless artistic legacy, ending with the abrupt death of Diaghilev in 1929. But the achievements of its heroic prime would continue to set the standards for the next era.</p>

Melancholy Undercover Bok
<p>Over half a century after their songs were recorded, ABBA's songs still make people the world over dance and sing every day, and their ability to evoke every emotion has made them the ultimate soundtrack to major life events, from birthday parties and weddings to heartbreaks and memorials.<br/><br/>Since interviewing the four members of ABBA for an article in 2013 - at which time the band had not been interviewed for 30 years - a relationship was sparked between writer Jan Gradvall and the band, and he was granted unique access for the next decade. He has interviewed each of them exclusively for <i>Melancholy Undercover</i>, and they share their thoughts and opinions with him here more openly than ever before.<br/><br/>Gradvall places ABBA at the centre of the musical universe, and alongside his fascinating interviews, he gives readers the socio-cultural context of how the band's sound was formed - including the melancholic hints of Swedish folk music and the dansband culture of their formative years - and shows how the story of ABBA is also the story of Sweden and the internationalisation of pop culture.<br/><br/>With around 2 million tickets sold to the <i>ABBA Voyage </i>experience in London since it opened in May 2023, it is undeniable that, in the history of pop culture and music, there has never been a group like ABBA. This remarkably intimate, approved biography brings readers a few steps closer to one of the world's most famously private bands.</p>
