Uncommon People by Miranda Sawyer

Uncommon People by Miranda Sawyer

The vivid stories behind 20 key songs of the 90s - 'Common People' to 'Girls and Boys', 'Connection' to 'Firestarter'; AND the bands that made them . . . The definitive Britpop mixtape from award-winning pop-writer Miranda Sawyer

Miranda Sawyer was at the heart of the golden era. . and bears thrilling yet thoughtful witness to the oddity and
ambition of the awkward outsiders who briefly got the nation humming their tunes, equally enthralled by the usual headliners and unclubbable mavericks like Keith Flint, Tricky and P.J. Harvey

* Mojo *
This is the story of, arguably, our last great pop movement in 20 songs. The usual suspects - Blur, Oasis, Pulp - are present and correct but it's lesser names who stories are most affecting . . . This is an informative and witty book that's nostalgic but never sentimental * Sun *

Miranda Sawyer has written about pop music since 1988, beginning on Smash Hits before moving to Select, The Face and the Observer. She's interviewed everyone from Liam Gallagher to Tricky, PJ Harvey to Pulp, Stormzy to Billie Eilish (some of these people do not feature in a book about Britpop). Her first book Park and Ride explored the British suburbs, her second Out of Time exploded the midlife crisis, Uncommon People, her third proves that going back in time can bring you right up to date. She lives in London.
