Andy Macleod

This book bundle includes both of Andy Macleod's heartwarming and hilarious works of autofiction that trace the trials of chasing your dreams and knowing when to throw the towel in.

Discounted price exclusive to Omnibus Press.

Anoint My Head:

It’s 1992 and Andy (aka Horace) dreams of becoming a rockstar with his band, the Pointy Birds. The only problem is that his day job (mis)filing vinyl in a Soho record store is stealing all his time and energy, plus rival bands like Suede, Blur, Pulp and Radiohead are moving on to bigger and better things. 

But everything changes when someone called Ricky Gervais offers his services as a band manager, and at last the dream can start. Anoint My Head is the tale of a band who didn’t become rich or famous, but had a manager who did. It is also the story of a musical era, documenting the rise of some of the biggest Britpop bands of the nineties, plus a comedian who went on to write quite a successful sitcom about a paper merchants in Slough.

Soho Days, Camden Nights:

Andy is 27 years old and stuck in a dead-end admin job in Soho. His rockstar dreams are over, but luckily, he’s discovered the next big thing: a Norwegian three-piece who sound like ABBA-meets-Nirvana. Plan B is simple: live the dream vicariously by managing them. The only things standing in his way are a total lack of music-industry know-how, and a boss who disapproves of his extracurricular activities. Easy peasy, right?

Soho Days, Camden Nights is a coming-to-your-senses story set in the heyday of the late nineties London music scene that also charts the rise of one of the biggest bands and comedians of the modern era. Along the way, it asks an eternal question: does success come from talent and hard work – or is it mostly down to timing and luck? And more importantly – is it ever too late to pick up the plectrum and try again?
