Michael Bradley joined his school friends group in Derry; Northern Ireland in the summer of 1974. They had two guitars and no singer. Four years later the Undertones recorded Teenage Kicks; John Peels favourite record; and became one of the most fondly remembered UK bands of the post punk era. Sticking to their punk rock principles; they signed terrible deals; made great records and had a wonderful time. They broke up in 1983 when they realised there was no pot of gold at the end of the rock and roll rainbow. His story is a bitter-sweet; heart-warming and occasionally droll tale of unlikely success; petty feuding and playful mischief during five years of growing up in the music industry. Wiser but not much richer; Michael became a bicycle courier in Soho after the Undertones split. "Sixty miles a day; fresh air; no responsibilities;" he writes. "Sometimes I think it was the best job I ever had. It wasnt; of course."
