At the age of 85, he is finally ready to share the story behind his broadcasting heydays. David Hamilton’s Long and Winding Road promises to take you on a journey you won’t forget. From a remote farm in Sussex where he grew up, dreaming of bright lights, to end up working all over the UK and US alongside famous names such as Ken Dodd and Benny Hill and interviewing The Beatles – the star filled pages will be sure to take you back to a time some would deem the golden age of British showbiz.
On a journey with all the deep dives, relationship woes and heartfelt reflections along the way, after over fifty years, his story brings him right back to the same farm where he started – the same farm he would broadcast from on national radio in his mid-eighties.
