Peter Flanagan member of legendary Australian singing family group the Fauns aka the The Flanagans passed away on September 2nd aged 73 at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney. Peter along with brother Paul and Sister Margaret began as the Fauns in 1959 as they had been doing classical music training which they released 3 singles on the Leedon label- Dance With Me/Don't Take the Stars, We Should Be Together/While Susan Sleeps and Nursery Rhymes Rock and as the Flanagans they released 4 singles on the HMV label-He/Wonderland Of Love and Dreams(1965), Follow the Wind/Land OF Beyond(1965), You Were Meant FOr Me/That's How Man Began(1966) and This is My Song/For Bobby(1967). the group did appearances on Bandstand,Six O'Clock Rock, Teen Time, The Johnny O'Keefe Show, Sing Sing Sing, the Mike Walsh Show, IMT, Revue 61, Revue 62 and many others as well as performing on the Matt Munro TV special in 1966 as well as performing in the clubs too as well as co writing the song
This is the authorized biography of the legendary British rock group The Who's bass player John Entwistle written by Paul Rees and in this book it talks about his upbringing in Acton London, his parents breaking up, starting getting into music at an age young, playing in bands like the Scorpions and the Confederates with Pete Townshend, joined the Detours which become The Who, achieving great success with classics like My Generation, I Can't Explain, Substitute, Pinball Wizard, Won't Get Fooled Again, Who Are You and others, his 2 marriages, the loss of Keith Moon, his passing in 2002 and others. It's FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB book with AWESOME and impressive stories which there are some that have never been told before and I loved reading it. Paul Rees has worked for Kerrang as well as Q magazine as well as co written Steve Lukather's autobiography The Gospel According To Luke, A Fast Ride Out Of Here Confessions of Rock's Most Dangerous Man by Pete Way of the band UFO and others and also the Entwistle family has the full co operation doing the book. It's 18 years in June when John Entwistle passed away in Las Vegas just as the Who were about to do an American tour but the great music that he did with the Who lives on forever and Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are still working as the Who. This book is an must for the fans of the Who and I give it 5 stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will love it.
