Tonight! Come and listen to me read from and waffle about my book, and Richard Jobson share his first-hand knowledge of Stuart Adamson, ably guided by the author of the brilliant new Sunday Times Bestselling Manics book, Keith Cameron. @raginfullon@theskidsofficial@manics@rocknrollbookclube17
Spotting this clip of Mark Bonnar (@mark_bonnar ) talking about Stuart Adamson (@stuartadamsonofficial ) and Big Country (@bigcountryofficial ) on @bbcscotland late last year felt fateful - perfectly timed with the final stages of completing the Stay Alive biography. It quickly became clear who should narrate the audiobook.
Thank you Mark for delivering it with grace and enthusiasm. So empathetic, so entertaining. No one could have done a better job. Sometimes things just fall into place.
‘Stay Alive: The Life and Death of Stuart Adamson’, the bestselling official biography by Scott Rowley (@scottrowley ), is out now. The audiobook, narrated by Mark, is available on all major streaming platforms.

If you buy Stay Alive from @residentbrighton - or have bought one already - then you’ll be entered into a draw to win all this cool shit that I’ve gathered on my recent travels.
