Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Woodcut - The Making And The Meaning has been written to complement the release of Big Big Trains Woodcut. The book allows readers to discover how a chance visit to Oslos Munchmuseet during the bands 2023 European tour lit a spark between Gregory Spawton and Alberto Bravin that grew into the bands most ambitious album to date: from a single woodcut print to an exploration of the universal through the light and darkness of artistic hopes and thwarted dreams. Drawing on candid interviews, lyrical notes and personal reflections from every member of the band, the book explores not only how the album was made but also why it matters - the stories woven into its lyrics, the cultural forces that shaped its sound and the emotional resonance it carries for listeners. Readers and listeners will go deeper into the story of Woodcut: a troubled illustrator; an ancient, possibly supernatural, piece of heartwood; an ingenious device - the Albion Press - evoking classic Big Big Train traditions - wrapped in a fable that blurs the line between inspiration, obsession and the sometimes dangerous cost of creative fulfilment. The book describes how lead vocalist and album producer Alberto Bravin sifted through an outpouring of musical ideas from his bandmates to forge one epic piece of music, weaving hundreds of individual tracks into a single, emotionally charged musical narrative and how the band then coloured it with their own ideas in the studio. Readers will hear directly from every band member about friendship, grief, humour and hope; about carrying Big Big Trains legacy forward in a new era; and why they believe Woodcut is a true album for the ages. In addition to acting as a listening guide, the book also examines the centuries-long story of woodcut art itself - from medieval book illustration and Thomas Bewicks tiny marvels, through Japanese ukiyo-e, William Morris and the Kelmscott Chaucer, to Edvard Munchs radical jigsaw prints - enabling readers to see how those traditions echo through Woodcuts music and lyrics. And the book also makes some fascinating connections between the ground-breaking artists of the late 19th century and progressive musicians of the modern era. Andy Stuart says:I was inspired by what Rick Beato has called the sweat equity of being a music fan: traditional record stores, sleeve notes, gatefold art and the feeling that an album - and now a book - can still be an adventure, not just something you scroll past. Progressive rock, and Big Big Train music in particular, inspires something that I feel is sometimes lost in the era of streaming and music-on-demand. Woodcut is a very inspirational record. Its not just pixels. Equal parts history, creative journal and cultural commentary, Andy Stuarts biography of Woodcut is a vivid portrait of a record that is more than just a concept album - its a statement, a journey and a tribute to what is set to become a rock music classic. At more than 200 pages, and illustrated with over 80 images, including original handwritten lyric drafts and studio notes, Woodcut - The Making And The Meaning is an essential companion to (possibly) Big Big Trains most significant album release. Woodcut - The Making And The Meaning has been written to complement the release of Big Big Trains Woodcut.

Paperback. Condition: New. This is a book about origins, identity and who we become. It's about a kid who found solace in music when the very sense of who he was left him floundering. It is about how his journey to discover his family allowed him to reflect on who he could have been had he not been given away at birth.Who's The Boy With The Lovely Hair? is a tale about discovering, processing and making peace with who you are, and ultimately asking: "How much of us is nature and how much is nurture?" The book is published as a 400 page hardback, including 48 pages of photographs documenting Jakko's life and career.Who's The Boy With The Lovely Hair? is, at first glance, a traditional rock'n'roll memoir, charting Jakko's long and varied musical career, packed with eyebrow-raising and hilarious anecdotes about his encounters with everyone from Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Cliff Richard and Gene Simmons, to Uri Geller, Jack Charlton, Audrey Hepburn, the Dalai Lama and crossing swords with Millwall Football Club's dodgy director Reg Burr.Step away from the tales from the trenches of late 20th and early 21st century rock'n'roll, theatre and alternative comedy, and you uncover:- The harrowing stories of his adoptive parents' lives during World War II.- Discovering his adoptive father had fought on both sides of that war .- His birth mother's fame as a successful singer in Ireland .- Jakko finding and meeting his birth mother and self-proclaimed 'white supremacist' step-siblings .- How a lonely, despondent adopted child ended up working and playing with his childhood heroes.…
