The Open has always featured triumph & disaster since it began in 1860 & this book is all about the latter of those ...

It's 1988 & radios across the land blast out the Top Ten hit ' Stutter Rap' by Morris Minor & the Majors. The man behind the fake moustache is Tony Hawks.

Fast forward to the 21st century & those heady days of pop stardom are a distant memory. That is, until it is suggested that Tony is just another One Hit Wonder. Really? We'll have to see about that.. .

For two years Tony struggles to have a hit somewhere, anywhere, in the world, changing acts & styles with a bewildering lack of integrity. From Nashville to Amsterdam, from Eastern Europe to Africa, he travels the globe in search of that elusive hit.

But it's only after a chance encounter with Norman Wisdom that things get really strange. Is it really possible that together they could storm the Albanian charts?

In One Hit Wonderland anything can happen.. .

One Hit Wonderland

You know him as a best selling author; you know him as a TV and radio presenter. But did you know that in a former life, as Morris Minor and the Majors, Tony was a pop star? He had a No. 4 hit with 'Stutter Rap' in 1988. He was on Top of the Pops. He tasted fame. Now Hawks wants more. Fame beckons once again-ONE HIT WONDERLAND is Tony's wonderful account of an adventure that takes him right around the world in search for that elusive follow-up hit. From the studios of Nashville to the coffee bars of Amsterdam; from the plains of Sudan to the wilds of Tasmania, Hawks will do anything to have a hit. He changes musical styles with a bewildering lack of integrity. He hypes charts, he gets remixes. But will he get a hit? Is that even possible anywhere in the world with a song called 'You
Broke My Heart Like A Bird's Egg (But Now The Yolks On You)'?
