Adventures in Wonderland is an extraordinary true
life story, giving the most brilliant insights ever into
the fascinating, often exhilarating – and sometimes
emotionally devastating – world of contemporary music at
the very highest level. It is the kind of book that can change
your life – and your perception of what’s really important...
For so many of us, music shapes our world. It becomes part
of our DNA. In our hearts we aspire to writing the great song
or stepping out on stage in front of a packed arena. But it
is part of the mystery of music that we don’t know how – or
why – a particular song will seem to get right inside our
heads, or why one artist will scale the highest heights, while
another just can’t get beyond the local pub gig.
In telling the personal story of a world-leading agent,
promoter, manager and songwriter, Adventures in
Wonderland answers those questions in a way that no
book has ever done before.
Paul Charles has lived the life, loved the music, dreamt the
dreams, and been manager and confidante to some of the
world’s biggest – and most artistically credible – artists and
songwriters. In Adventures in Wonderland, he writes about
his encounters with The Beatles, The Kinks, Robert Plant,
Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, Carly Simon, The Police,
U2, The Waterboys. Shakespeare’s Sister – and dozens
more legendary artists, and his 30-year involvement in the
Glastonbury Festival. But at the heart of the wonderful trip
described in Adventures in Wonderland is an overpowering
love – and a deep understanding – of music and how it
excites, obsesses and heals us. And sometimes drives us
completely wild, doing and experiencing things we had
never, ever imagined.
