Description:

This is a story of Bez, the man with the maracas and Shaun Ryder`s sidekick in the Happy Mondays. Bez was the embodiment of the eighties `Madchester` scene - when asked by a journalist why he took so may drugs he replied, `It`s my job.`

Freaky Dancin` is a rollercoaster ride through the excesses of rock `n` roll. It is also the story of how a petty criminal, with no future, got up on stage one night at The Hacienda and found himself famous.

`No one has truly and more fully lived the rock lifestyle since The Who`s Keith Moon. This is the most honest, funny, outrageous, drug-fuelled rollercoaster of an autobiography since Howard Marks. A cult classic.` Mirror

`Bez emerges as a dangerous lunatic whose entire life is motivated by the pursuit of drugs. But, like his book, he`s almost impossible not to like. Top one.` Mix Mag

`Bez presents his life as a triumph against the odds, the pills and thrills of a hyperactive kid who couldn`t settle on anything except drugs and petty crime but fronted one of the most important bands of the past ten years.` The Times

`Bez`s life story reads like that of a man who stole the world, sold it, bought it back on the cheap, and then left it on the back of a written-off jeep somewhere in the Caribbean.` New Musical Express
