Kim Hawes has worked in the music industry for over 40 years with some of the biggest and baddest bands there are. She blagged her way into working merchandise for Elvis Costello which led to a job merchandising for Rush all around Europe. She spent many years sleeping underneath Lemmy from Motorhead. That is on a tour bus. She toured with Black Sabbath just as Ronnie James Dio entered the band and they unleashed Heaven & Hell on the world. She threw Madonna of her stage, turned Courtney Love down, had to say no to Nelson Mandela, and had to deal with the aftermath of Chumbawumba drenching the deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. Yes there are tales of Sex, Drugs & Rock’N’Roll, debauchery and fights, suitcases full of cash and Hells Angels. But Kim’s story is so so much more. Her memoir Lipstick & Leather is a rollercoaster ride of Rock’N’Roll anecdotes as well as being a serious introduction to the world of touring and the struggles that Kim faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry and how she refused to compromise. Strap yourself in,as Lipstick and Leather shatters the myths of some of Rock’N’ Rolls legends.
