Bringing It All Back Home - Hardcover
'Ian's book is of a piece with the man; generous, funny and wise. This is written with a tenderness that only the strongest can aspire to. He describes it, astutely, as the soundtrack to a life and the music embraces everything from half-forgotten music-hall songs to the outer limits of jazz, blues and folk. But beneath these sounds he hears the secret music of the common people - from the mining towns of Yorkshire to the Mississippi Delta - the joy of community and the devastation of loss and betrayal. The final chapter - about Billie Holiday Clayton - is the bravest piece of writing I've ever read. It is, as Lady Day sang, but beautiful.' Alan Plater

Review:

The best read I've had all year, at times very funny, genuinely touching and always deeply personal. The perfect book for anyone who has defined their life through music and the memories of their youth.' --Joanne Harris
Ian Clayton is a warm, witty, funny, loving man and that shows in this brilliant compendium of true stories. This is a beautiful book, I think you will enjoy it whatever walk of life you are from. --Richard Hawley

Ian Clayton is a jobbing writer, story teller and broadcaster. He loves books, films and music. He is a traveller, a collector, a gatherer and is passionate about finding the voice of the common people. He still lives in the town where he was born and lists his hobbies as tap-room conversation and gentle subversion. Amongst other things he is a recognised authority on the life and works of Billie Holiday, has a fondness for the comedy songs of George Formby and aspires to play blues harmonica like Jimmy Reed.
