Lipstick and Leather by Kim Hawes
Kim Hawes, pioneer for women in the music industry, spent decades on the road with the biggest and baddest bands ever: Elvis Costello, Rush, Black Sabbath and Motorhead.‘A warts and all journey through the highs and lows of the touring world – required reading for anyone who wants to move into that world’
‘I don’t think I’ve read a better book about the sheer hard work and determination it takes to put a band on stage.’
‘Kim Hawes took lipstick and feminism deep into the heart of macho darkness and came out trumps as this book hilariously and poignantly reveals.’
‘Some hugely colourful stories and wild anecdotes. An inspirational read and a life well lived!’
‘A barrage of mishaps and mischief, stunts and scrapes, with all sorts of bands and artists pretending to be adults.’
Kim Hawes, now an educator, author, coach and mentor, has come a long way from her early days of rolling posters and selling merchandise.
She was recently recognised for her achievement as a Pioneer for Women with an Honorary Fellows from UCLAN. She spent ten years of her impressive career with one of the most notorious rock bands ever, Motörhead. She was then headhunted to become one of the very first female tour managers in the world.
