Books by Bruce Lindsay
Bruce Lindsay is a writer, born in England of Scottish parents at almost the same time as rock 'n 'roll arrived in Britain. A music lover since the age of five, his first record purchase was a copy of Elvis Presley's Devil in Disguise and his first record review, in 1974, was of a Johnny Rivers album. After a career in health care and university teaching, and a parallel but shorter and less successful career as a semi-professional musician, Bruce is now a freelance music journalist specialising in jazz and blues. He holds a PhD in history and has published articles and books on late 19th and early 20th century British society and health care. As a music journalist he has published around 1,000 articles and reviews for publications including 'All About Jazz', 'Jazz Journal' and 'Norwich Magazine'. He has appeared on radio, discussing music and playing records, and he has presented workshops and lectures at music festivals across Europe. Bruce lives close to the city of Norwich, in Norfolk, with his wife Julie. They have two sons. Bruce is a keen cyclist and walker, spending as much time as he can in the hills of Norfolk and Suffolk.
