Song Man Exkluzív ajánlat

Will Hodgkinson learned to play guitar for the first time at the not-so-tender age of thirty-four. Now, bolstered by the truism that with three chords you can write a song, he sets out to do just that, aiming to present his creation to the world by cutting a 45 rpm single at London’s famed ToeRag Studios. Armed with a singing voice that makes children cry and a sense of melody that could best be described as challenging, Will takes off on his songwriting journey. He receives lessons and advice from, among others, Keith Richards, Ray Davies, English folk queen Shirley Collins and a brilliant recluse called Lawrence; then, on a mission to find a song for his wife to sing, he goes to New York to meet the hippy-era singer Bridget St John. In search of further inspiration, Will decides to travel to the mysterious Scottish island of Eigg with his reluctant songwriting partner Doyle – but what will Liam Watson, ToeRag’s fearsome producer, make of the pair’s efforts? Taking in the history of song from Carmina Burana to modern pop, gets to the heart of why three minutes of music will always encapsulate what it means to be alive.
