New foreword by drummer Steve White (The Style Council - Paul Weller)
The Magnificent Six in Tales of Aggro evokes the memories of me growing up in South London. It captures the youth, the clothes, the music, and the camaraderie perfectly. In concurrent with all the factors that are vital to our ‘salad days’, the book focuses a great deal on the humour of youth, which gives the young unstoppable energy and lust for life in even the toughest of times.
With hints of Quadrophenia, a soupçon of Budgie, and a with a taste of Minder, this novel is a vivid and enjoyable slice of London life in the 80s, with a wealth of detail and characters, that are full of richness and broadness. Like Detective Arthur Legg, a spiteful and corrupt policeman that bullied and blackmailed his way to the top, a new fictional villain to despise and fear.
The Magnificent Six in Tales of Aggro is a hidden gem of a novel and I keep telling my friends, this book is perfect for a pool and a beer combination, and I say the same to you my friends, happy reading!
Steve White August 2020
