Author Chas McDevitt was also an important skiffle artist, and writes from personal knowledge.

A FINE hardcover, blue boards, solid and clean, in FINE dust jacket SKIFFLE / MUSIC / RARE / SIGNED. The author Chas McDevitt, who has signed this copy, is a British musician, one of the leading lights of the skiffle genre which was highly influential and popular in the United Kingdom in the mid-to-late 1950s. A skilled banjo player, he began his musical career in the 1950s, playing with the Crane River Jazz Band. At the same time, he formed a small skiffle group, which performed in coffee bars and jazz clubs in London. In late 1956, he recorded Elizabeth Cotten's song "Freight Train", adding a female singer. Thus, folk singer Nancy Whiskey was invited to join the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group, and the song with her vocals, became a hit in the UK in 1957 at the height of the skiffle boom, reaching Number 5 in the UK Singles Chart. McDevitt's group appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, their record became a million seller, and their success led them to tour with acts such as Slim Whitman and Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers. They also replaced Jerry Lee Lewis on his ill-fated 1958 tour of the UK. McDevitt's was the only British skiffle group, other than Lonnie Donegan's, to achieve international success. Both a student of Skiffle music, and a pioneer Skiffle performer in the UK, Chas McDevitt brings an insiders knowledge and depth to this definitive work. ., Robson Book Ltd, 1997, 5, Printed for Harrison & Co.

" NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the ingenious comic performer, founding member of Monty Python, and creator of Spamalot, comes an absurdly funny memoir of unparalleled wit and heartfelt candor We know him best for his unforgettable roles on Monty Python from the Flying Circus to The Meaning of Life. Now, Eric Idle reflects on the meaning of his own life in this entertaining memoir that takes us on a remarkable journey from his childhood in an austere boarding school through his successful career in comedy, television, theater, and film. Coming of age as a writer and comedian during the Sixties and Seventies, Eric stumbled into the crossroads of the cultural revolution and found himself rubbing shoulders with the likes of George Harrison, David Bowie, and Robin Williams, all of whom became dear lifelong friends. With anecdotes sprinkled throughout involving other close friends and luminaries such as Mike Nichols, Mick Jagger, Steve Martin, Paul Simon, Lorne Michaels, and many more, as well as John Cleese and the Pythons themselves, Eric captures a time of tremendous creative output with equal parts hilarity and heart. In Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, named for the song he wrote for Life of Brian and which has since become the number-one song played at funerals in the UK, he shares the highlights of his life and career with the kind of offbeat humor that has delighted audiences for five decades. The year 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of The Pythons, and Eric is marking the occasion with this hilarious memoir chock full of behind-the-scenes stories from a high-flying life featuring everyone from Princess Leia to Queen Elizabeth. About the Author: Eric Idle is a comedian, actor, author, and singer-songwriter who found immediate fame on television with the sketch-comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Following its success, they began making films that include Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Life of Brian (1979), and The Meaning of Life (1983). Eric wrote, directed, and created The Rutles, the world's first-ever mockumentary, as well as the Tony Award-winning musical, Spamalot (2005).
