Synopsis
Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart is one of country's best loved DJs. In this intimate and very frank autobiography he reveals the truth about his extraordinary career that has taken him from blagging interviews with Nat King Cole for Hong Kong radio, to becoming one of the best-known voices in the country. As a DJ on the pioneering pirate radio station Radio London, he was instrumental in putting the swing into the Sixties along with legendary names such as John Peel, Kenny Everitt and recent 'King of the Jungle' Tony Blackburn. He went on to present one of the highest rating radio shows ever broadcast in the UK and he remains a much loved part of Radio 2's schedule. He also reveals how his remarkable love for his wife has found new life after her lover moved into their shared home! Packed with celebrity anecdotes, this is the ultimate behind-the-scenes portrait of life as the original superstar DJ.

(Report this)   2 of 6 people found the following review helpful: So bad it's good................, 19 Jul 2005 By A Customer Does anyone remember that kitch 1950's low-budget movie called "Plan Nine From Outer Space" by the American film-maker Ed Woods? In later years it acquired something of a cult following due to the fact that it was SO bad that it had a sort of weird fascination. This book has a similar appeal, hence the three stars. In conclusion therefore I would just like to say "Ed Stewart, you are a cult!!"  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   I enjoyed this book by Ed Stewart, 4 Feb 2008 By  Andy Capp "book worm" (Nottingham) - See all my reviews I enjoyed this book by Ed Stewart, I've heard him on the radio and on the TV but I didn't know much about him. This book tells of his early life and what I found interesting was his time being a disc jockey on the pirate ships in the sixties. Ed went on to tell the reader about Radio 1 and about other DJ's during Radio 1's birth in 1967. Crackerjack was also mentioned and I remembered Ed on that show. If you like pop music and early TV this is the book for you. A good read.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 3 customer reviews...
