Publisher's Summary
During the decade that spanned the 1970s, teddy-boy draped rock 'n' roll band Showaddywaddy had a run of chart success unparalleled by any other artist or band.
In 2005 they were still touring, but by then the heady days of teenybop hysteria were long gone. Offered a summer run of 33 holiday camp dates, the band took the fast buck and subsequently entered into uncharted territory.
From experiencing life in the fast lane, they were about to undergo a breakdown on the hard shoulder. In this bittersweet account, lead singer (and later manager) Dave Bartram candidly recollects the extraordinary occurrences of 10 weeks in the UK's bucket and spade resorts which strained every emotion to breaking point!
