Ticket to Ride: a Musician's Journey Through the Sixties

Music and book publisher Tabitha Music Limited have re-published the first novel by England based author, musician and record producer Graham Sclater. Born in Exeter in 1947 Graham spent many years living and playing Hammond organ in a number of groups in Germany and Scandinavia during the sixties. He returned to England in the early seventies where he worked as a session musician in many of the top London studios. An accomplished songwriter and musician, Graham has been featured in a number of arts and musical programmes and has performed and recorded with many artists including Jimi Hendrix, Fats Domino, Ritchie Blackmore, James Taylor, Elton John, Christine Perfect, Tony Ashton and numerous name musicians. He recently had two of his original screenplays, ?More than a woman? and ?Hatred is the key? optioned by an American production company. Graham can be heard regularly on terrestrial and web based radio stations around the world reviewing his book of the month and presenting the A-Z of writing. ?All in all, the book exudes the optimism and "damn the torpedoes" attitude of any young rock and roller from any era - definitely recommended.? ?Ticket to Ride is a fun book to read. The fact that it is rooted in reality makes it seem like a genuine biography or autobiography rather than a novel. It is evident that much of it is, or could be, based on actual events. The book provides an insight into the life of a hard-working band in the 1960s.? ?To the hundreds of members of British groups (remember, a lot of groups from Scotland played in Hamburg) who had never-to-be-forgotten experiences in Germany in the Sixties; this is a book to jog their memories!? ?A highly recommended book which is currently only available in English.? ?The book is a cracking little kitchen sink drama, littered with all the hopes and dreams that any young kid with an interest in music has. ? ?Ticket to Ride shows us the seamier side of life in Germany in the 60?s and how it is easy to fall into the dangers of this kind of living.? ?It?s all here in one gangster and hooker infested plate of realism, which was the Reeperbahn at that time??
