Wish Me Well: Notes on My Sleeve

Wish Me Well: Notes on My Sleeve

by Mick Hanly (Author)

Synopsis

The title of this book, Wish Me Well , is taken from Mick Hanly's album of the same name. The song titles on the album are also the chapter titles of this book, and provide the theme for each chapter. In turn, these chapters build to an autobiography of rare sensitivity and skill, chronicling a life blessed by love and talent and blighted by the tyranny of drink and self-doubt. Mick Hanly is unsentimental about himself. This is an honest and clear-eyed man who knows himself, his strengths and his failings alike. He writes of family, of love, of music, of the life he has led and is leading, with the skill of an artist. Each chapter closes with the lyrics from the relevant song. Wish Me Well is a special book.
