The frank, funny and fearless memoir of Sylvia Patterson - one of Britain's best-loved and most influential music writers. Shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award.

Great journalism, and also written with a clear, unsentimental eye * The Times *
Patterson hilariously recounts life on Britain's Brightest Pop Magazine (TM)Funny, anecdote-packed, nostalgic but also very touching * The Pool *
Celebratory and elegiac, I'm Not with the Band documents the last three and half decades in pop and gives an honest account of an exhilarating and grueling life. Top read. * Guardian *
