Ronnie Wood to host book launch

Ronnie Wood will host a launch event for his memoir How Can It Be? A Rock & Roll Diary next week.

The standard edition is published on September 8 after the Rolling Stone found a long-lost account of his doings in 1965, when he was 17 years old.

Wood recently told The Blues Magazine: “It’s like no time has gone by. It was a very pleasing thing for me to rediscover this. It was, like, ‘Wow, I remember.’

“All of the places, the names, the situations – I remember crystal clear, like it was yesterday.”

He’ll appear at Waterstones, Piccadilly, London at 6.30pm on September 11.

Tickets for the launch include the price of a first-edition copy of the book, complete with commemorative bookplate with Wood’s facsimile signature and self-portrait.

Before the launch, he takes part in a Faces reunion concert on September 5 in Surrey.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
