The Tremolo Diaries

“A Minor Masterpiece” — Classic Pop“Beautifully written, moving and funny. It stands alone as a book about life on the road and life in a band. But it’s so much more than that. Deserves to be much loved and admired” — Gideon Coe, BBC Radio 6“For all the pain and fear and heartache in these pages, it’s also full of life and joy and copious swearing. Currie is realistic about his condition but not maudlin about it and he has retained his very Scottish ability to be entertainingly angry at things that annoy him. The result is a thrill of a book” — The Herald“Currie is piercingly honest. About the rituals of rock, the tedium of touring and his awkward acceptance of ‘this shadow with malevolent intent’. 8⁄10” — Uncut“Perfectly captures the rhythm of life on the road” — Word in your Ear“Sad, honest, really funny and exemplary use of the C-word” — Teddy Jamieson“Excellent. It’s rare to see the sheer grind of touring so relentlessly documented. Fabulously written” — Mat Osman, Suede“A unique, truthful and frequently very funny insight into the realities of staying in the rock ‘n’ roll life as the years go by, Parkinson’s or not” — The Times“A candid journal of resilience” — Los Angeles Times
