Product Description

Product Description

This is the first in a two part series of auto-biographical accounts of an unknown's search for fame and fortune in the UK's Music Industry in the late seventies and early eighties. Written in 2004, it is a humourous, witty, sometimes uplifting and sometimes depressing account of a young teenager's the journey through the perils of the British music industry. Containing some interesting and unique insights into the worlds of the Rock, Punk, Mod and New Romantic music of the time..... it is a must for any music buff worth their salt.
NB. If you liked Lost in Music By Giles Smith.....Then you'll love this.

The following reviews should give you a clue.........



“ ‘ Virgin to Angel’ is a gripping account that moves at a breathtakingly, fast pace but doesn’t once trip over it’s own shoelaces.

“Lee Benfell has certainly lost his virginity with this one and given the music industry a good old fashioned shagging in the process!”

“If you are being driven to distraction by your own star-struck teenagers, then give your son or daughter this for Xmas. That’ll sort em.”

“A beautifully crafted web of intrigue, giving a unique perspective on the Music industry, who is this Lee Benfell, genius?”

“ Burn all those dusty old Biographies of faded Rock ’n Rollers you have on your bookshelf - this is the only one you’ll ever need.

“If you’ve ever listened to a pop record in the last 30 years, then buy this book.”

“ With his quippy Brysonesque style, Lee Benfell provides the perfect travel guide for those who want to follow the Rock n Roll dream.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for every music fan 22 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow, what an amazing book. I was hooked from the first few pages of the book and could hardly put it down and thanked the "cattle trains" (as Lee Benfell describes the commuter trains) for taking so long to get me to London. I totally love his fresh and unassuming writing style which made me feel as if the author was directly talking to me. He describes his personal and his band's journey to making it big in the music industry. It was an eye opener to read how hard it is for a band (or anyone at any time for that matter) to get a break in that cut throat business, in particular before the Internet. Unlike the author I cannot find the right words to describe what I want to say, but I shall try to summarise it: I wasn't sure what to expect as this is not the usual genre I enjoy reading, but I was mightily impressed, loved every Kindle page of it and highly recommend this book to anyone. Now I am on tenterhooks for the second volume!
