Young Hearts Run Free by Dave Haslam

Young Hearts Run Free by Dave Haslam

Young Hearts Run Free is an antidote to I Love the 1970s; it is the real story of the 1970s from the critically acclaimed author of Manchester, England.

‘For Dave Haslam, Candi Stanton's song “Young Hearts Run Free” provides the theme for 1976Political strife, race riots and the battle for gay liberation provide the gritty background for a grim survey of the decade's popular culture. Haslam has every right to look back in anger.’ Mark Sanderson, Sunday Telegraph

‘Haslam is determined to set the record straight and offers an exhaustive survey of the 1970's the revival merchants want to avoid.’ Gary Lachman (founding member of Blondie), Guardian

‘Haslam tells the story with an enthusiastic and discriminating eye.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘His book mounts a blistering, sometimes blustering attack on the nostalgic sanitisation of a troubled decade and offers a good-taste guide to its music.’ Robert Sandall, Sunday Times

Dave Haslam has written for ‘NME’, ‘Face’, ‘Observer’ and ‘London Review of Books’. He DJ-ed over four hundred times at the Hacienda through the ‘madchester’ years. As well as various successful Manchester residencies, he has since played regularly worldwide; from Cream in Liverpool and Home in London, to Detroit, Paris, Ibiza and Berlin.

He is the author of two previous books: ‘Manchester, England’, which was named The Sunday Times Music Book of the Year in 1999, and ‘Adventures on the Wheels of Steel.’
