About the Author
George Melly was born in 1927. He made his name in the jazz revival scene of the late 40s and 50s, singing with Mick Mulligan's band. In the 60s he became one of the UK's most ubiquitous critics, writers and TV personalities. He has published a great number of books, including four volumes of autobiography: Owning Up (1965), Rum, Bum and Concertina (1977), Scouse Mouse (1984) and Slowing Down (2005). Today he can be found singing with the trumpeter Digby Fairweather. In 2004 he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC's Jazz Awards.

Seller: Chapter Two Books, Ammanford, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Owning-Up by George Melly is a sharp, exuberant memoir in which the jazz singer, critic, and all-round cultural provocateur looks back on his early years with characteristic wit and irreverence. Melly recounts his bohemian adventures, sexual escapades, and immersion in post-war artistic circles, blending self-mockery with a keen eye for the absurdities of British life. The tone is candid, mischievous, and stylishly anarchic, making the book a standout in his autobiographical trilogy and a desirable volume for collectors of mid-century countercultural memoirs.
