About this listen

What do Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Elvis Costello, Rush and Chumbawumba have in common? Kim Hawes, a pioneering female tour manager.

Through hard work, hard partying and hard times, Kim refused to conform to others' expectations. She hurled a TV through the glass ceiling of the male-dominated music industry, blazing a trail for young women today. Hers is no ordinary tale of life on the road.

Excellent story & record of the industry from a (rare) female perspective.

Kim's story is fantastic & opens up the world of the touring music scene for all to experience ( no real surprises though).

I would have liked some more depth to the content in places.

The person reading the book is very monotone with her delivery and this detracts from what is an otherwise interesting book.

A decent read & a throwback to better (?) times 🤔
