Waterstones Says

From a ramshackle Liverpudlian upbringing to finding fame with indie legends Echo and the Bunnymen, Sergeant’s engrossing memoir paints a vivid picture of a time when society was changing rapidly and music felt like the ultimate escape.

Signed Edition - a standard edition is available here

Growing up in Liverpool in the 1960s and '70s, when skinheads, football violence and fear of just about everything was the natural order of things, a young Will Sergeant found the emerging punk scene provided a shimmer of hope amongst a crumbling city still reeling from the destruction of the Second World War.

From school-day horrors and mud flinging fun to nights at Liverpool's punk club, Eric's, Sergeant was fuelled by and thrived on music. It was this devotion that led to the birth of the Bunnymen, to the days when he and Ian McCulloch would muck around with reel-to-reel recordings of song ideas in the back parlour of his parents' council estate house, and to finding a community - friends, enemies and many in between - with those who would become post-punk royalty from the likes of Dead or Alive, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and the Teardrop Explodes to name a few.

It was an uphill struggle to carve their name in the history of Liverpool music, but Echo and the Bunnymen became iconic, with songs like 'Lips Like Sugar,' 'The Cutter' and 'The Killing Moon'. By turns wry, explicit and profound, Bunnyman reveals what it was really like to be part of one of the most important British bands of the 1980s.

“Superb read”

Highly recommend. Will writes with such ease that reading his story is a complete pleasure. It’s like listening to a friend speak. Obviously very smart, talented and gifted, his early and school years are sad to... More

“Pleasant surprise”

Had lost interest in the Bunnymen a long time ago, after reading this it once again peaked my curiosity into the music of such a great band.
Most of this is about Wills early years in a strong working class... More
