The travels of Mary Loosemore

Author: Paul Morley

Words and Music: A History of Pop in the Shape of a City – Paul Morley

I tried, I really did. I even dipped in and out of some of the later chapters to try and find some narrative hook. But I failed. The book just came across as self-indulgent, pub punditry fuelled by far too many pints.

I’ll leave it to Phil to read, it’s his holiday reading after all!

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
