Hey Rock’n’Roll is not just a bio but more a collection of interesting and humorous true stories as it traverses the various musical eras. You’ll read about the venues, the movers and shakers and marvel at Rick’s incredible collection of clippings and memorabilia lovingly kept from day one. This is the first time Newcastle (and other nearby towns) have ever been depicted during the Swinging 60s. This book will serve as an excellent snapshot of social history of that ‘way-out and groovy’ era.

​Finally, as a bonus, you’ll laugh yourself silly over Rick’s turn of phrase and humorous observations. Whilst he is understandably proud of his many achievements, he remains self-deprecating and never takes himself too seriously. ‘Hey Rock’n’Roll’ could well be the funniest book ever written anywhere about the music industry. As Art Ryan said in his Foreword, “Rick is Newcastle Rock Royalty.”
