Full Moon - The Amazing Rock and Roll Life of Keith Moon

With Chris Trengove and Peter Lawrence

In 1967 Peter ''Dougal'' Butler became a roadie for The Who and their mercurial genius drummer Keith Moon. Soon he would be Moon''s personal assistant, chauffeur, and all-purpose wingman. The ride lasted a tumultuous ten years, ending just prior to Moon''s untimely death in 1978. Full Moon is Butler''s memoir of that ride: essential reading for Who fans, and a masterclass in the mayhem caused by rock ''n'' roll excess.

''The most candid insight into the Who star''s life.'' Daily Star

''Written in a wonderful fast, racy style, Runyonesque and full of good jokes.'' Girl About Town

''A welcome change from the usual bland rock book reportage... Butler clearly has a deep and lasting affection for Moon.'' Andy Gill, NME

''Certainly outrageous, sometimes funny, but mostly a sad account of life with a talented neurotic.'' Daily Mirror
