Edited Books
So, I took a fantastic job as Music Editor at Music Sales, editing and compiling music books with the brilliant Pearce Marchbank (Omnibus Press) and the legendary “Miles”. Some of the best illustrators and artists such as Brian Grimwood, Peter Brookes and Mick Brownfield were hired to do many of the covers. I have many happy memories there working on everything from Rory Gallagher and John James, to the Beatles and Classical Music and also working with the late lovely arranger Cyril Watters.
