About this listen

Written in his own unmistakable voice and with a new afterword by the author, this is the frank and fascinating memoir by arguably the greatest bass player of his generation.

Beginning with an East End childhood in a London barely recovered from the War, he takes us on a journey through the beginnings of punk and post-punk as a founding member of Public Image Limited, an illustrious forty-year solo career which has seen collaborations musical greats such as U2, Brian Eno and CAN and a Mercury Music Prize nomination through to the present day still playing to sell out audiences.

Along the way we hear how Wobble navigated chronic alcoholism and marital breakdown and has emerged as a national treasure.

If you ever wondered how got his name, the answer is here: his teenage pal Sid Vicious gave it to him when he drunkenly slurred Wobble's real name, John Wardle.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved this book. I used to work at Mile End Hospital on Bancroft Road. It was nice to hear Jah talk about areas I knew/know. Another spooky thing happened; I watched the film Sparrows Can't Sing. I had missed the beginning so did not know what it was called. I was talking to my Mum and Brother about the film in my Mum's kitchen in Macclesfield. My Mum says 'Oh, that sounds very much like Sparrows Can't Sing'' I googled it, and it was. Minutes later when I was driving home, I continued with the audio book in my car and, I kid you not.... The next chapter was when Jah is talking about how the film Sparrows Can't Sing was filmed in Bethnal Green. I nearly spat my imaginary tea all over the dashboard of the car!!! Top read Jah. Nice one!!
