My aim is to finish and publish my autobiography, about my time in the music industry, as a composer, radio manager, bodyguard & other roles

by Phil Baker - I'll Be Ten Minutes in Saint Helens, Merseyside, United Kingdom

My life has never gone smoothly along the many career paths I chose to tread be that in platform shoes or steel toe capped boots. 

I was bitten by the rock'n roll music bug at the age of eleven and my addiction to its life force, thankfully, still runs through my veins. 

I was told by many people that my adventures in every aspect of the music and live entertainment industry would be of cultural significance...FFS! I was brought up in and around the streets, bars, clubs and large music venues of Liverpool as a fan of rock music. The only culture I was aware of back then, was motor bikes, its clubs and how to get my hands dirty fixing them. If touring the world playing guitar and singing with the likes of Corky Laing (Mountain), Uriah Heep Legends and taking part in Rock Operas - qualifies as significant, then "yes" that's what I did. Despite my turbulent personal life, strange events and dubious choices, many of my friends marvel that I have managed to survive into my mid sixties still relatively sane. In response to knowing how I did it - I have set it all down in a book. 

Unfortunately, publishing a book incurs many costs, similar to producing the first album of my own music. This is where I need your help funding these expenses.
