From Banwell to Berlin and Beyond - The Book of BOB

Legendary indie band BOB, championed by John Peel and loved by many, many alternative music aficionados, allowed me to write their official biography. As interest in their reissued back catalogue grew, and plans to release a huge archive of previously unheard material came to fruition, I spent time with the band in Cornwall as they rehearsed for their farewell tour.
I continued to chat with the band members individually and collectively throughout the Covid pandemic and its aftermath, and the story is enhanced by various members of the band's inner circle and, crucially, the fans themselves.
150 Hardback copies were initially published through the i40Publishing micropress, all of which were accompanied by an exclusive CD of unreleased material by the band entitled 'Chapters'. These copies sold out within a month, and a paperback version was printed to meet demand. This did not come with the CD, although the disc remains available from the band's website.
A limited number of copies remain available, and can be ordered by emailing above.
Long live BOB! Here's the video to their Indie Hit 'Convenience':
