Monkhouse has already more than proved himself with 'Crying With Laughter'. With this follow-up he dispenses with any notion of linear memoir and uses a 'secret diary' as a means to tell us his favourite stories, some astonisishing, most seldom less than diverting. In the astonishing catagory comes the revelation that the most rock and roll libertine ever wasn't Hendrix, Morrison or Robert Plant but David Whitfield, the '50s crooner from Hull.
Best of all, though, is the chance to read about performers all but forgotten by my generation - people like Jimmy James and the sublime Ronald Frankeau (try to find his song 'Shakespeare Was A Playboy).
That Monkhouse can tell a good story goes without saying and this is what he sticks to. There's no nonsense about The Golden Shot here, just a great wallow in the bizz we call show.
