Too Old for Punk

The second volume of Dave's story carries on from 'Too Young for Rock and Roll' which ended in 1974 when he left London for a new life in Northampton.
'Part rock history, part autobiography Dave's books can also be read as social studies as they also capture some of the seismic shifts that swept the country. In an age of power cuts, strikes and three day weeks it can't be overemphasised how music added colour to the leaden seventies. Just like you're sharing a drink with Dave 'Too Old For Punk' is told in a conversational tone as he regales you with some of the best stories from Northampton's rich musical heritage.'
The book is the definitive history of Northampton bands Left Hand Drive and The Russians, and is one of the few books that covers the Working Mens Clubs heyday.
The book ends in 1984 when he relocated to the West Country. A must read.
