'A spirited and heartfelt account of Ronnie’s amazing life and music’ Charlie Hart, Slim Chance; 'This book captures the man and his incredible musical and personal journey in a celebratory way, but also handles his terribly sad ending sensitively. I raise a glass to both the book and to Plonk and say thank you for both' Mark Baxter, author of Scorcha!

'A spirited and heartfelt account of Ronnie's amazing life and music' Charlie Hart, Slim Chance This book captures the man and his incredible musical and personal journey in a celebratory way, but also handles his terribly sad ending sensitively. I raise a glass to both the book and to Plonk and say thank you for both' Mark Baxter, author of Scorcha! 'Caroline and David Stafford display the same dry wit and careful research that informed their previous excellent biographies. A thoughtful study of how Ronnie coped both with fame and encroaching illness, which doesn't shy away from his contradictions, but is written with genuine fondness, a sentiment apparently shared by many who knew him.' The Spectator
