This is my story of trying to 'make it' in showbusiness. It's about how I got my first guitar and how I was caught up in the Merseybeat phenomenon of the 1960s.I was desperate to make music my career and I managed to go from playing on the church youth clubs of Liverpool to the Cavern Club to Television and to The Albert Hall and The London Palladium. How I went on to work with Shirley Bassey, Morecambe and Wise, Benny Hill, Jimmy Tarbuck, Rolf Harris and many more and how I went on to perform for Prince Charles, The Queen and Prince Phillip. But it's also the story of the hard times in the Workingmen's Clubs and Miner's Clubs of the North East and South Wales the late late nights and the boring travelling. It's a story with humour and sadness, elation and disappointment.How it all started and how it all ended and it's also about the many friends I met along the way.

Screams. Flames. Shivering alone in the bitter Alaskan night – That’s all I can remember from before. I don’t know where I came from or who I am, and I’m fairly certain I don’t want to. I am absolutely certain about Andi Campbell, though; she’s my light at the end of the tunnel, but I can’t tell her that. Most of True, Alaska, still shuns me because I won’t speak, but not The Campbells – and that would change if they ever found out what Andi and I did when her mother was missing last summer. Andi seems to agree, and we steer clear of each other now. But Andi’s sister Delilah is getting married, and it’s impossible to avoid one another at Hennessy Cove, the secluded inn the bride and groom booked for their intimate ceremony. From the moment we touch down, something about the place fills me with dread. And every time I cross paths with the smiling innkeeper, I break out in a cold sweat. Knowing Andi’s sleeping in the room next door just makes that fever worse.

This is a composition of my feelings and thoughts over a fifty-five-year period .The ladies I loved and cared for deeply, and I still feel for them. I believe love never dies; it only weakens a little. But in the back of your mind, you never forget the good times and bad times that have brought you to these later years of thought. I was married twice. I know what youre going through with a broken heart and loneliness. I can sincerely say I have walked in your shoes. Sometimes its a blessing and sometimes its destiny, but we all know the hurt and sleepless nights with tears. My advice to you would be to write it all down in the night when your alone and slumber doesnt come. God bless.

Thirty-five years ago, Ann Joseph lost the only man sheÕs ever loved. SheÕs been out on a few dates since then and kissed a couple of potential princes, but they promptly turned into frogs, so sheÕs given up looking for a kindred spirit who might make her feel like a woman instead of just a mother, grandmother, and occasional babysitter. It takes a chance meeting with a total stranger to give her life meaning again, but it isnÕt long before the relationship that starts out as companionship develops into an emotional roller coaster, and when it gradually turns into a white-knuckle ride, she starts to realise that what you see isnÕt necessarily what you get when it comes to Owen RoachÉ
