A Co Derry man who left his hometown of Magherafelt at the age of 17 is launching a memoir telling of his music industry adventures with the likes of Van Morrison, Ray Davies and Tom Waits.
Paul Charles, agent or manager at various times to the likes of The Undertones, The Waterboys, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Elvis Costello, and Carly Simon, describes in his new book 'Adventures in Wonderland' how he started out in the music business operating from a phone booth in his home town before moving to London as a teenager.
Speaking to Belfast Live, he said he started in the business when "a bunch of mates" formed a band known as 'Blues by Five'.
