One Man's Music is a love story - the story of Peter Gammond's relationship with music from earliest childhood. The growth of the relationship is, has been - and still is - deltaic, branching out through every phase and aspect of Western European and North American music: classical, light, jazz and even pop. Despite its range and depth, the book is not the least degree a textbook or scholarly treatise.

Aged 93, Peter lives in Shepperton with his wife Anna where they still enjoy listening to music.
