Lunch With The Wild Frontiers: A History Of Britpop And Excess In 13 1/2 Chapters

I was hoping this would be more in depth, but it turned out to be more of an author’s memoir with little substance on the bands or movers and shakers in the industry.Strip out all the mentions of NME and Melody Maker front covers they secured for gheir clients and there’s not much left. I ditched it 2/3 of the way through.Agree with a previous review that this is more of a vanity piece for the author and not objective.

If you've read 'Here they come with their make up on' - her account of Suede's life and times from that era, you'll know just what to expect. A gripping conversational account of that time, with insider info on the key players of Britpop (LOTS of Suede as she was their publicist at the time), interspersed with anecdotes of her own life and times.Hilarious, tragic, brilliantly written.I want your next book. Get on with it.

Me ha encantado y está altamente recomendado a los amantes del Britpop y la música de los 90 y los entresijos que la conviertieron en la más popular del mundo.

Hilarious book. Much of it exaggeration or mis-remembered, but brilliantly written and very entertaining.

Not enough stuff about the people in the Polaroids that adorn the book. Too much about Fat Les.

There are a bunch of music PR books out at the moment (Mick Haughton, Mike Nicholls, Steve Lamacq) but this sets the benchmark high for wish-i-was-there thrills and behind the scenes gossip. Phill's as interesting as the artists he promoted, and very much a part of their success.All the Britpop names are present and incorrect, and the very few times he doesn't name names makes you hope you'll bump into him in Camden and privately let you in to a secret or two.The book is very funny - Phill doesn't hold back on his opinions, but his self deprecation keeps you on his side. He's like the Steven Stelfox you would take home to meet your mum.i read it in a day, compiling a Spotify playlist as i flipped the pages.
