TV Smith: To Helgoland and Beyond! (diary 4)

TV Smith: To Helgoland and Beyond! - Punk rock tour diaries: Volume Four

Ahkerasti kiertävän ja kiertueillaan kirjaa pitävän ex-Adverts tähden TV Smithin kolmas kirja soolo aikojen keikkareissujen uskomattomista sattumuksista ja tarinoista. Matkalla käydään USAssa, Saksassa, Japanissa, useamman kerran Suomessa. Kuivan kaunnilla brittihuumorilla höytettyä maailmankatsomusta.Varsinkin kertomus käynnistä Suomalaisella maaseutupunkfestivaali Ketolaikalla on todella hersyvää luettavaa.

Arvio kirjasta: "TV Smith has just released the fourth volume of his Punk Rock Tour Diaries via Arima Publishing. It's another amusing and entertaining travelog in the company of the inspirational and likeable ex-Adverts vocalist. This is a world of Rock 'n' Roll that is as far away from huge tour buses and luxury hotels as you can get. It's a world of sleeping on floors in damp and freezing cold back rooms of venues. Relying on lifts, local buses and ferry boats where ice strewn footpaths can wreak havoc on your luggage and your timetables. There is the poignantly named Old Punks Festival in the Czech Republic and a gig among the sand dunes in the remote island of Heligoland. There are encounters with hi-tech Japanese toilets in Tokyo and dangerous crack alleys in Brazil. There are battles with unmanned budget hotels and their baffling entry codes, and with mosquitoes in Finland. "
