Autor Simon Armitage
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2009
'Extremely funny'Sunday Telegraph
_____________________________

A poet is a rock star without the sex'n'drugs, or the rock'n'roll. But that never stopped Simon Armitage dreaming, and inGig, he explores how music and the muse intertwine in work and in life. Crammed with stories, anecdotes, jokes, absurdities, the odd informal homily, pitfalls and pratfalls (not all the author's own), Yorkshire life and death,Gigis about the dream and reality of what you are, and what you might have been.
