About this listen

THE FOLLOW UP MEMOIR TO SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, BUNNYMAN

Scenic Wye Valley isn't the typical place for a rock story to begin, but when Echo & the Bunnymen hit the studio to record their ground-breaking debut album, Crocodiles, it was anything but ordinary. The album was the making of the band - cultivating a cult following which would soon evolve into staggering mainstream success. Their lives would never be the same again.

In Echoes, legendary guitarist and founding member of Echo & the Bunnymen, Will Sergeant, recounts the band's whirlwind rise to stardom with his trademark wryness and intelligence. Sharing never-before-told anecdotes - including the heady Rockfield Studio sessions and touring across the US, playing sold-out shows at Whisky a Go Go and experiencing the iconic New York club scene from dusk 'til dawn - and accompanied by snapshots of the cultural, social and political scene at the time, this is a memoir to remember.

The music at the beginning and end of this audiobook is taken from Dragonflies, an original piece written and performed by Will Sergeant

Critic reviews

The early 1980s when I was teenager were hard times under Thatcherite rule. The Bunnymen's music made it bearable for me and Will's guitar playing was - and still is - central to band's unique sound. There was so much appalling sh*te around on the radio so you had to dig around for the good stuff, but the Bunnymen's music was really successful and always brilliant, which was so rare then. Can't wait to get my mind into the new book - the last one was absolutely boss! (Richard Hawley)

A fascinating insight into the early days of Echo & the Bunnymen and the music scene of the early 80s.

A book that Echoed with me.

A great memoir

I've listened to this and it's predecessor Bunnyman for the last few days. It's beautifully written and narrated by Will himself which always adds a special buzz to an autobiography.
The detail is astonishing. Almost as if Will has documented every day of his life. Some of the back stories add a shine and almost secret knowledge it feels he's just sharing with you about which guitar he used or why recorders usually shunned since school music lessons are added to a track in the recording studio which enhances it.
This and Bunnyman are up in my top 5 autobiographies. If he does more and there is so much more to tell them he may take up all 5 spots and finally knock Christopher Connolly off the number one position.
Thank you Will for rekindling and if you'll pardon the expression, engorging my love for Echo and the Bunnymen.

Absolutely brilliant

Such a great listen….so funny at times but so insightful especially to a Brother Bunnyman like me.Looking back it makes one realise how classic those first 3 LP’s are.I had the pleasure of meeting Pete very briefly back in 1982 after a show which keeps its own special place in my heart.You were trying to stay out the way😂.
To everyone…..you should listen to this.Great job.

Legendary….

A masterpiece!
