A Sharp Left Turn : Notes on a life in music, from Split Enz to Play to Strange
Split Enz- Book - by Mike Chunn
(2019)
This is a gripping read that works on several levels. It's the
sliding-door story of someone who might have become a world-famous pop
star had he not suffered from a severe phobic disorder.
It's the
story of an assortment of young musicians trying to find their feet as
bands in the late 70s and early 80s, and the associated euphoria and
craziness of that life.
It's Mike's personal story of struggling with agoraphobia and eventually finding a way through.
Told
in Mike's own words, this is also a loving evocation of a 50s and 60s
New Zealand childhood, and a beautifully written memoir that will
resonate with anyone who loves a well-told story.
