Now Where Was I?: My career-from The Twilights, Axiom & The Little River Band and back again

by Glenn Shorrock

Glenn Shorrock is a music icon. With a career spanning more than fifty years, he is one of the elder statesmen of Australian contemporary show business. Now, Where Was I? is Glenn’s story in his own words. After emigrating with his family to Australia as a ‘ten-pound Pom’ in the 1950s, his success took him to international stardom. From his time with sixties pop band the Twilights, his work with Brian Cadd and Axiom in the early 1970s, to fronting the chart-topping Little River Band, Glenn tells his story in an intelligent, witty style that recalls the heady days of rock ’n’ roll – the big names, the long tours and the bitter controversies – without losing his unique sense of humour and wonderful touch of irony. “Glenn Shorrock and his quite exquisite voice has been a part of our lives for more than fifty years. The tales he tells, with great wit and enduring good humour, is an evocation of time and place for anyone who has ever turned on a radio. This is Reminiscing of the first order.” – Glenn A. Baker

Nine out of Glenn!!!

A great read about early days of Rock n Roll in Australia. The Discography is very good but where is the index for researchers of Australian Music. Enough said about the number of typos that should have been picked by a proof reader, i have never seen so many .

Great autobiography by Glenn Shorrock. The insight into the ridiculous situation around the ownership of the LRB brand is great. Nothing too controversial and it is interesting learning more about the man’s personality which isn’t obvious from seeing him out front of a band. A good read.

Pretty average, poorly edited or proof read with blatant spelling mistakes, addition of an index would have helped. The last 3 chapters seem like padding to me.
