Brian Eno on 'My World Music'

 

Brian Eno
What a lovely book it is. I am reading it and loving it


My first book, Left Field was published by Unbound,. my second, My World Cafe’ by Riversmeet and My World Music is published by me! It is available in paperback and on Kindle. 

I am grateful to Brian Eno for his praise and would like to add other comments to his. I am not asking for positive appreciations, indeed I welcome the occasional insult. ‘All publicity is good publicity’remains a truism.

If you have read the book please let me have your thoughts to add to Brian’s. Send to david@davidwilson.org.uk 


COMMENTS ON MY WORLD MUSIC

Brian Eno
What a lovely book it is. I am reading it and loving it

Orhan (Oha) Maslo, Director Mostar Rock School
Music saved my sanity and my life in post-war Bosnia. As Bob Marley said. ‘When it hits you, you feel no pain’. This book confirms that

Michael Walling, Border Crossings

Congratulations, a feat of love.  I'm enjoying it, educational, such a reminder of the music I've enjoyed in a transitory way


Edwin Maynard

Wonderful book, David. I look forward to locating and following some of its many musical trails


Clare Thompson

Each chapter is an eye opener. I am – as always – humbled to learn more of your story of activism and bringing people together in your inimitable way. You are also making me listen and pay attention to music in a new way – again, thank you for the gift of listening//


Victoria Brittain

Your book – a great project


Deicola Neves, Camden Guitars

The only truth is music and this book explains why

Fascinating. I’s such a great idea to link stories of your life, to music and musicians.

"David Wilson has lived a life and a half. I was proud to play a minor role in War Child, an organisation in which David was inspirational. The broken world needed people like David then; it still does and it always will." -- Sir Tom Stoppard

"David Wilson is an adventurer and a free-thinker who ... did something truly useful with his life. His stubborn and yet self-effacing commitment to his ideals carried him through many daunting situations, and his sense of humour kept him able to see the funny side."-- Brian Eno

"What a life this man has led" - Dorothy Byrne, former head of Channel 4 TV News
