Synopsis
In this compelling and moving account of the marvelous George Melly’s last five years on- and off-stage, the eminent jazz trumpeter Digby Fairweather captures Melly as never before. He vividly recalls the many gigs, recording and drinking sessions, the performances, the characters they me,t and the unexpected and unscripted encounters, as well as their conversations and friendship. Anyone who has seen George Melly on stage will know how outrageous and captivating he can be. But there is another side to him: his erudition, his fame as an expert on Surrealism, his passion for angling, his sexual appetite, and more. Even in his last year, although very ill and growing ever more deaf, Melly’s sense of fun and his love of music kept him singing to the end.
