Don't Stop the Music by Justin Lewis

Don't Stop the Music by Justin Lewis

Notable events, surprising nuggets and entertaining coincidences from music history the perfect companion for any fan of popular music

‘A brilliant musical almanac, compiled by an engaging writer whose musical knowledge is not just detailed but wide-ranging and generous’ Jonathan Coe

‘A wonderful ride through our pop universe amongst thousands of bright stars, gnarled debris and twinkling nuggets of music and events made distant over time. Lewis has made all of it up-close and vivid through this indispensable companion for anyone who loves music and popular culture. Whatever the age of the reader, it’s brimming with new discoveries and triggering classics: memories and signposts make this an intoxicating music journey!’ Peter Curran

‘This is an astonishing book, a calendar of pop, an almanac of songs, a day by day in the life of music. A book of events that’s an event in itself.’ David Quantick

‘An absolute must for all music fans, Lewis' addictive volume is packed to the gills with facts, trivia, notable events and pure pop nuggets.’ - Waterstones

A ‘deft and delightful pop almanac’ The Arts Desk

‘The deliciously simple conceit — pop facts from every day of the year — lets Lewis roam wide and free, to fascinating effect. Radio Caroline was named after JFK’s daughter, Dolly Parton sells a brand of canine clothes called Doggy Parton, and the Walker Brothers weren’t brothers.’ Daily Mail, 2023’s best history books



‘Brilliantly simple as an idea but also ambitious, Justin Lewis creates a glorious interlocking history ... of our pop culture with all its coincidences, connections and shared enjoyment.’ We Are Cult
