All The Very Best‪!‬

Folk singer, guitarist, songwriter, storyteller and patter merchant, Vin Garbutt was the funniest and the most serious man on the folk scene for almost half a century.
Vin was adored by his fans – and, for a period, shunned by elements of the folk music industry. In this compelling autobiography, he reveals the man behind the hilarious stage patter and the songs that often moved his audience to tears.
The book takes us on an unforgettable journey from the streets of post-war South Bank in Middlesbrough to the steps of Sydney Opera House, and just about everywhere in between.
A globe-trotting trailblazer who sold out venues across the world, Vin was also a man of courage and conviction.
In All the Very Best! he explains why he refused to be silenced despite a backlash against views that were out of line with the mainstream – and the price he paid.
Written in the four years before his death in 2017, this is Vin’s touching, funny and life-affirming story in his own words.
