I wish I could have had this book when I was starting out...
Imelda May
Pete's book will be invaluable to any aspiring young road rat - and to a few older ones. It is full of useful information and top tips. A must-read.
Nick Payn – freelance saxophonist (road rat for over 40 years), currently touring with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings.
Road Rat’s Tips is a goldmine; a nod and a wink and a word to the good lurk in every crevice. Even the most experienced of us can find something new to learn and for the novice it will be indispensible.
The author knows his stuff. Pete’s knowledge, experience and professional conduct make him the ideal companion on the road. Apart from the snoring.
John Day – bass player, Acker Bilk Band
An absolute must for present and future musicians. This book is a gentle reminder of how to better the craft we are lucky enough to call our profession. Written with the inevitable humour that only Pete Cook can deliver!
Dawne Adams – drummer/percussionist (Duran Duran, Lionel Ritchie, Moby)
