Steve Travis

One Man and His Microphone Steve Travis

In this amusing book Steve holds nothing back in a 'warts and all' memoir of the perilous journey of a singer in a glam-rock band. Through the sex and drugs era of rock and pop into the comparative safety of the country and western circuit. 'One man and his microphone' reads like a 'Carry on' film as it traces Steve's life in music. A guide book on how not to succeed as a singer with 50 years of cock-ups chasing that golden rock & roll dream told with much humour. A story about the music biz with its many pitfalls mixed with a smattering of sex, drugs, homosexuals and groupies and being arrested for armed robbery and finally becoming a country singer. This book will clearly strike a chord (or 3 chords) with anyone that ever dreamed of making it big in the cut throat world of pop music. Steve was born in 1951 in Colchester Essex. He played drums in a beat group in the 60's, he formed the glam-rock band Plod in 1971, he then became a country entertainer in the 90's.
