Follow Tessa as she records with superstars such as Eric Clapton, David Bowie and Robbie Williams; appears on the world's biggest stages; rubs shoulders with royalty; and reveals the triumphs and heartbreak of life on the road.

Backtrack is a story of driving ambition, firsthand experience and the accomplishment of a dedicated and talented musician.

An amazing career with tales of working with so many famous musicians. Alas, not many anecdotes of note for my liking

Great talent but only mildly interesting

I found this book quite boring and I really didn’t like the accents that she put on

Ok listen

Enjoyable in parts, but in the main hard to get through. Some really good stories. However, some very over explained ones in many areas and under explained in others, leaving you bored in places and bewildered in others. Almost juvenile with explanations and descriptions. No doubting there’s talent there, but I think it’s from behind the singing mic, not the reading mic or pen for writing books. Had high hopes for this, but sadly it wasn’t for me.

Ok but hard finish
