In The Eyeline of Furtherance, charts John Howard's rise from 70's pop idol to a career in A & R and marketing.
The '90s opened up new vistas, ever bigger and better opportunities, working with Elkie Brooks, Madness, Barry Manilow and rock 'n' roll heroes Lonnie Donegan and The Crickets. As John himself puts it, I was propelled onwards and upwards, not this time by my own ambition, but by the plans of others who had clearly decided that I was going places in a direction I would never have imagined twenty years earlier.
John Howard's first book, Incidents Crowded With Life, followed the ambitions of a young gay singer-songwriter in London in the '70s which were realised after being signed by CBS Records and recording his debut LP at Abbey Road studios. En route, he wrote the theme song for a Peter Fonda movie and was heralded as The Next Big Thing. And all the while navigating a series of disastrous personal events, not least when he broke his back in 1976.
A great insight into the terrifying sex life of early 1970s Northern art students!
David Quantick - Journalist and Screenwriter
In Book 2, Illusions of Happiness, after recovering from his injuries, John returned to recording with producers Trevor Horn and Steve Levine until an exciting new career 'on the other side of the desk' in the music industry beckoned.
Thanks to an elegant, unfussy writing style, and the ability to spot the poignant in everyday life, the day-to-day aspects of Howard's '70s are as riveting as the more starry ones, and this second volume of memoirs serves equal amounts of both.
