Autorenporträt
Graham Forbes is an author, musician (playing with all sorts of bands from the Incredible String Band to the Rezillos) and rock climber. A consummate entertainer, he is passing on his knowledge by managing his son's band, Darkwater. With homes in Glasgow and America, he still travels across the world to catch a gig - if the band's good enough. Graham's previous books Rock and Roll Mountains and Rock and Roll Tourist received widespread acclaim.
