“A very enjoyable book of entertaining reminiscences mixed with
words of wisdom about musicianship.”

Brendan Power

 

Harmonica book, funny, Roly Platt, autobiography

“Roly’s book is much like a lively conversation; it’s humorous, entertaining, and packed with deep dives into his unique approach to playing. Beyond technique, it also shares pivotal moments of his career, including a collection of delightfully comical and often bizarre stories from his time in the studio and touring the world. A must-read for musicians and enthusiasts eager to learn from a seasoned pro!”

— Richard Anderson

“I couldn’t wait to read more of it!”

“Roly’s writing style is light and very enjoyable. Anecdotes mixed with real knowledge and always a bunch of his dry humour. A lovely combination!”

Wendell Ferguson
Award-winning guitar player and entertainer

Excellent read!!!

Roly has mastered the art of story telling and telling the life of a travelling Harmonica musician.

John Turnbull
Musician

Loving it.

He’s very funny and relatable and I feel more confident that even though I don’t understand music, I can still become a great player.

Ben Ingram

I highly recommend it.

Great stories. A fun read with Roly’s dry delivery.
Hilarious road trip stories but also an insight into a very unique process of learning music and performing by someone who has done it all.
Get a copy!
