Bedsit Disco Queen: How I Grew Up and Tried to Be a Pop Star Paperback - 2014

by Tracey Thorn


From the rear cover

'From 1982 to 2000, Tracey Thorn was half of Everything But The Girl. She looks back on it all with acerbic affection. She writes as perceptively about the music business as she does about her own contribution to it. Fab' Iain Finlayson, The Times

'The Everything But The Girl frontwoman and former Marine Girl seizes our attention because she never asks for it, and in that her authorial voice is like her singing voice, soft and low, magnetic' Zoe Williams, Guardian

'Bedsit Disco Queen is that most satisfying thing, a book that pulls back the veil with candour and humour, while charting a social history of UK pop with Zelig-like perspective' Kitty Empire, Observer

'An intensely readable account of thirty years of being in love with music ... Warm, assertive, sweetly funny, but most of all honest' Chris Harvey, Daily Telegraph

'Tracey Thorn is not your average pop star. This is probably the key to why Bedsit Disco Queen is so good -- as idiosyncratic, clever and entertaining as you'd expect' Claire Black, Scotsman
