My Rock ‘ n’ Roll Friend by Tracey Thorn

Tracey Thorn has been friends with Lindy Morrison for 37 years. They met backstage at London’s Lyceum when Lindy was the drummer with cult band The Go-Betweens and Tracey was at the start of her musical adventure. The pair immediately bonded over gossip and gigs, feminism and the frustrations of being a woman in the macho world of music.

It’s a beautiful look at a long-standing relationship, clear-eyed and honest as quiet Tracey, shares the stories of bold, brave Lindy, and pinpoints the joy of their connection – “We’re alike and unalike, but I think we see each other and being seen is everything.” (Canongate)
