Capturing The Wry

di John Hartley (Autore)

Broken Down Books, 2022

Between 1993 and 1995 John Hartley and his alter ego Johny Nocash led the Irony Board(s) on a journey with an intended destination of fame and fortune. The paths of life do not always lead in the desired direction, however. Described at the time by renowned music journalist Martin Aston as "bittersweet, naive, hook-lined, captivating, unpretentious, clever - but not clever-clever - and deserving of more widespread attention", the Irony Board's tales of love, lust and signing on are recounted here. 'Capturing the Wry' was originally published in paperback as a limited edition of 100 by i40Publishing. What the experts said... "Making music as a life choice is a rocky road to say the least. This book will find a home in the hearts of many." John Douglas and Frank Reader, the Trash Can Sinatras "Essential reading for troubled souls of a certain age." Johny Brown, the Band of Holy Joy "A swaggering walk down memory lane, when memory lane had proper concrete elephants." Marc Iles, the Bolton News "A bittersweet tale of indiepop stardom ulitimately scuppered by the need to eat." John Dobson, In Bed With Maradona "Great times, well-recounted by the people's poet Johny Nocash. I even remembered some of it." Andrew Kellington, drummer, the Irony Board 150pp
