Publisher's Synopsis
"His knowledge seems unending. Plenty of great stories. Many laugh out loud, and a few truly sad, moments. I couldn't put it down." - Lou Lou Whalley
As Nina Kraviz and Aphex Twin generate sounds that mirror a politically bipolar World, Bill Drummond draws up a plan for a poll on an Irish border crossing. The times they are a-changin' and Stephen Clarke 1980 has more insomnia than Faithless. No Rest For The Listener explores the actions of artists and DJ's in the past and present in order to create a series of links that point towards a possible, brighter, future. With stories about George Best, Brian Eno and J Dilla, interspersed with tales of bombings, kidnapping and murder in Belfast, it's, perhaps, not surprising that Stephen can't sleep. If you'd like to know more about The K Foundation sailing off into the sunset on a raft, how Laurent Garnier once reacted to the rise of right wing politics, or what dance the poet Hollie McNish has mastered, this book is for you.
"There's enough wit and wisdom within these pages to fill a small mobile library." - Andy Gell
