Finally, the truth behind the myths of John Peel's favourite band is
revealed. Hanley's story unfolds like a novel; from 1979 when he joined
The Fall with his schoolmates Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon, up to and
including an infamous on-stage fight in New York in 1998, he puts us
right in the heart of the action: on stage, on the tour bus, in the
recording studio, and up close and personal with an eccentric cast of
band mates.
