I have just finished reading Black Monk Time by Eddie Shaw. I had to order it direct from the publishers but it was really cheap, something like £14 including postage and packing, Eddie signed it too and there was a signed postcared from most of the Monks.

It's a great book - one of the best music autobiographies that I've read!

What happened about the talk of making a film of the book?

Spain? Is that the benicassim festival? If so, it may well end up online...

Finally, the sounds link at the bottom 'almost' works...

The book is done in a very filmic style. I'd reccommend it to anyone.

I ordered it from Amazon, I think. It took so long to come (which is not their fault I believe), that when it did, it was a bit like an unexpected prezzie)

Not as much of a one as if it had been signed with a card and that, admittedly. I believe there are a limited number of hardback ones, wish I'd gone for one now obv...
