Written in his own unmistakable voice, this is the frank and fascinating memoir by arguably the greatest bass player of his generation. Beginning with an East End childhood in a London barely recovered from the War, Jah Wobble takes us on a journey through the beginnings of punk and post-punk as a founding member of Public Image Limited, an illustrious forty-year solo career which has seen collaborations with musical greats such as U2, Brian Eno and CAN through to the present day still playing to sold-out audiences. Along the way we hear how Wobble navigated chronic alcoholism and other personal issues to emerge as an alternative national treasure.
Born in Stepney, London in 1958, Jah Wobble is the English bass guitarist, singer, composer, poet and author who has influenced an entire generation of players. His recording career began as a founding member of the hugely influential post punk group Public Image Limited (PiL). After two LP's, Wobble parted with John Lydon and PiL in 1980 to pursue a successful and prolific forty-year solo career, and has since collaborated with a wide variety of musicians and recording projects over the years. Still touring and recording today with his band Jah Wobble & The Invaders of the Heart, his most recent album was Metal Box in Dub in 2021.
