In Turn out the Light, Irish Author and Poet John Anthony Brennan takes us on a nostalgic magic carpet ride that begins in Ireland with Radio Caroline and the pirate ships afloat on the North Sea, all the way to the heady heights of the birth of the rock-n-roll revolution in swinging London, just as the world was about to change forever.
Turn out the Light is a selection of tributes to the musicians who died while still young, many of whom the author met briefly, during the seminal days of the late sixties-early seventies in London. In Turn out the Light, Brennan, whose Dont Die with Regrets was chosen as best memoir in the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, pays homage to the music and the musicians who healed his mind and saved his soul, with his unique combination of free-verse narrative and poetic musings.
'Music, the art of the muses, with its magical combinations of a handful of singular notes, can exalt, enthrall, inspire, thrill and exhilarate the senses. It can soothe the savage beast, console the dispirited and gladden a weary heart.' John A. Brennan
