Product Description

Product Description
Nick Cowan's wayward and eclectic career in show business began in his early twenties when he found himself in charge of a large London law firm specialising in entertainment. Joanna Lumley, Lynn Redgrave, Lady Docker, Don Arden and Shelter Records were amongst his clients. From the tables of the Clermont Club to blackjack with Kieffer Sutherland in Las Vegas, Nick has been taking chances all his life.

Nick was Ronnie Wood's manager and confidant for 22 years and toured the world with the Rolling Stones, co-proprietor of a high-class Mayfair escort agency, a Guinness Book of World Records nominee for winning the biggest racing jackpot in the history of the turf, opened Flipper's Roller Boogie Palace in LA (where Prince was launched), was on the scene of John Lennon's infamous drugs bust in Montagu Square, produced Benny Hill's last TV show, worked with OJ Simpson and much more besides...

Funny, often hilarious, escapades, characters and events cascade out on every page as Cowan describes his catastrophes and successes.

4.0 out of 5 stars 50 Teabags and a Bottle of RUm, 4 Nov 2008
This is a really interesting read - I couldn't put it down. Cowan has led an extraordinarily varied life and I would have thought his amusing autobiography would appeal to anyone. A good Christmas present!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fifty Tea Bags and a Bottle of Rum, 26 Nov 2008
By J. Lloyd (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellently anecdote-packed memoir of forty years in the entertainment and Rock 'n' Roll world. It is rare to read a biography of this sort written from the perspective of a manager rather than an artiste, and this book is all the better for it; the behind-the-scenes action and the characters involved are wittily described by the author, a seemingly picareque character who quickly has the reader enthralled. There are many laugh-out-loud moments. Good stuff.

A badly written book by an obvious "hanger on". Don't waste your money, there are some excellent rock and roll books that are much more interesting.
