The Million Pound Drop - Martin Davies - Bog

For Martin Davies, being a teenager in the 80s meant one thing; an obsession with popular music and synthesizers in particular. Career options in the West Midlands were limited: flirtations with juvenile crime and a pre-Kick Ass spell patrolling the streets of Moxley in a Ninja suit were followed by spells as a baker and a devil-may-care roofer. Then, the first fall: a death-defying 25ft plunge that ultimately leads to his creative reinvention as a student, musician and actor. A chance meeting will propel him headlong into the international offices of the most powerful music moguls in the world, managing a singer-songwriter of genius. How will these Black Country boys navigate the opportunities that come their way during the end days of the traditional music industry? This is the bitter-sweet story of a working class boy lifted by art, and daring to transcend his background by aiming for the stars.
