One Hit Wonderland Book

This work rewinds to 1988. Britain is in the grip of a phenomenon. Radios across the land blast out a new sound. The song is 'Stutter Rap'. The group is Morris Minor and the Majors. The man behind it is Tony Hawks. Fast forward to the 21st century and Tony has left those heady music biz days behind. That cherished appearance on "Top Of The Pops" is but a distant memory. These days music is just a hobby. That is until it is suggested that Tony is a One Hit Wonder. That he will never have a hit again ever. Really? Well we'll see about that... Over the next two years Tony battles against all the odds to have a hit somewhere - anywhere - in the world. He changes act and styles with a bewildering lack of integrity. He travels to Nashville the song-writing capital of the universe; to Amsterdam for that elusive novelty Euro anthem and even to Africa in search of the perfect melody. In his quest for pop immortality Tony leaves no stone unturned. But it's only after a chance encounter with Norman Wisdom that things get really strange. Is it really possible that together they could crash the charts in Albania?Amidst all the uncertainty only one thing is clear - in "One Hit Wonderland" is possible.Read More
