“One of the most fascinating portraits to date of one of the most important cultural icons of our age.” —Choice In June 1989, Paul Du Noyer was contacted by Paul McCartney’s office in London. They asked him to interview the star; McCartney and Du Noyer had met once before and enjoyed a good rapport. In the years that followed, Du Noyer continued to meet, interview, and work for Paul McCartney on a regular basis, producing magazine articles, tour programs, album liner notes, press materials, and editorial content for McCartney’s website. Du Noyer has spent more hours in formal, recorded conversation with McCartney than any other writer. Conversations with McCartney is the culmination of Du Noyer’s long association with McCartney and his music. Drawing from their interview sessions across thirty-five years and coupling McCartney’s own candid thoughts with Du Noyer’s observations and analysis, Conversations with McCartney is beautifully written—a sensitive, shrewd portrait of one of the most accomplished musical artists of our time. “Readers get to hear the seemingly ageless former Beatle discuss a variety of topics: songwriting, religion and spirituality, his enduring relationship with Linda Eastman, his reflections on the breakup of the Beatles and life after the group.” —Publishers Weekly “A welcome contribution to a growing body of serious but not solemn work about The Fabs.” —Kirkus Reviews

Deaf School

The Non-stop Pop Art Punk Rock Party

By: Paul Du Noyer

Liverpool has been a city of bands for decades, a dynamic center of musical innovation that gave the world one of the most iconic groups ever to grace popular music—The Beatles. Years later, in 1974, it nearly did it again. Rehearsing in the very same rooms that John Lennon did at the Liverpool College of Art, the band Deaf School formed, a chaotic and wildly entertaining group with a flair for rock cabaret. Avant-garde to the max, they were slated for instant stardom, signing with Warner Brothers. But the band would never have their heyday, lost in the vicissitudes of taste as Britain's punk rock revolution took hold, drowning their potential out. In Deaf School: The Non-Stop Pop Art Punk Rock Party, veteran music writer Paul Du Noyer pays tribute to this groundbreaking band, offering at least a little bit of the tremendous recognition that they deserve. Deaf School's influence is acknowledged by bands from Madness to Dexy's Midnight Runners to Echo & the Bunnymen. Indeed, the Sex Pistols's own manager, Malcolm McLaren, said of them “It's just as bad being too early as too late.” Though their hopes were dashed, they have never surrendered, and forty years later they still perform in madly glamorous and eccentric reunion shows, tribal gatherings of a dedicated fanbase who never forgot them. Celebrating their insider achievements, their rockers-to-rockers influence, Paul Du Noyer brings readers inside the raucous clubs where musical history would be determined, offering not just a needed biography of an overlooked band but a hidden and important story of artistic development—whispered in our ear beneath the noise. “Deaf School are such a delicious secret,” he writes, “it's almost a shame to reveal it.”

Paul McCartney

By: Du Noyer Paul

Ucelená představa o hudbě i o mimohudebním myšlení jednoho z Beatles Autor - Paul Du Noyer - se přes třicet let jako novinář zabýval světem hudby. Ve svých rozhovorech zpovídal Madonnu i Pavarottiho, Davida Bowieho, Micka Jaggera a další osobnosti populární světové hudby Z anglického originálu přeložil Ladislav Šenkyřík „Dle mého poměrně zasvěceného názoru je toto nejlepší kniha, která kdy byla o McCartneym napsána a která mu rozumí. Dokud Paul McCartney nenapíše vlastní paměti, nebudete ve své knihovničce potřebovat jinou knihu, než je právě ta Du Noyerova.“ Geoff Baker, bývalý dlouholetý mluvčí Paula McCartneyho „Nádherně a procítěně napsáno. Zrodila se nová hvězda knihoven všech fanoušků legendárních Beatles. Tato kniha si zaslouží oba palce nahoru až do nebe.“ hudební časopis MOJO „Tato kniha je učiněnou pokladnicí zasvěcených informací o Beatles, Wings a McCartneyho sólové kariéře a odkrývá všechny aspekty jeho téměř šedesátileté kariéry coby celosvětově uznávaného skladatele populárních písní.“ hudební časopis NME „Kniha Paul McCartney je plná rozhovorů nadšeného fanouška s jeho hrdinou a bude se zamlouvat zejména těm příznivcům McCartneyho, kteří by si přáli být v Du Noyerově kůži.“ Publishers Weekly „Vítaný přírůstek do rozrůstající se škály seriózních, ale ne zase příliš vážných knih o Beatles v době před a poté, jejíž protagonistou je jejich roztomilý basák.“
