John McGeoch was the unsung hero of the post-punk era. Blazing a trail with some of Britain's biggest bands and most revered artists - Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Armoury Show and Public Image Ltd. - John left an undeniable and indelible mark on music.
The Light Pours Out of Me examines John's life and legacy, drawing on original interviews with the likes of Siouxsie Sioux, Howard Devoto, Johnny Marr, Billy Idol, John Frusciante, Keith Levene, Jonny Greenwood, Nick Launay, Ed O'Brien, Peter 'Hooky' Hook and many others.
Illustrated with unseen photographs, this moving biography - authorised by the family - celebrates the remarkable guitarist who helped provide the soundtrack to a generation.
Rory Sullivan-Burke was born in London's East End in 1983. He has worked in community and care work since he was 16, first supporting children in the inner city and then as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities. He relocated to West Yorkshire in 2007. Diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, he has used his experience of living with autism to empower and advocate for people on the autistic spectrum. His earliest memories are of music and it has remained an enduring and pivotal obsession. He is an ardent West Ham United fan. This is his first published work.
