Wow, I could not put this book down. So well written. I laughed, cried and was shocked in places. It shows how hard Matt has worked and has never given up on his dream. I wish I had known him in these years and seen him play. I have now seen him with his band mates in Ransom and I think the music industry in the 90’s missed out on a great showman and star.

A well-written book. A real page-turner that will keep you entertained till the end is also very humourous. It took you on a journey about his band Hurricane Jane and trying to get a break in the music industry which is a very competitive industry. Personally, it mentioned places in Richmond and Twickenham which I know so well and took you through the story of how he met and married his wife. Very lovely story ❤️. Please give it a read Matt is a lovely genuine guy who is very funny. Also if you have a free Friday or Saturday night see if you can catch him singing with his current band Ransom " More than just a pub band" You will have a night to remember.

This book is killer, what a funny fella he is too! Very honest account and what an amazing story. Loved the hilarious references to scenes from films and TV as well. I think anyone who has ever been in a band can relate to this, but it’s not exclusive and Matt invites everyone into this very heartwarming and brutally honest account of his life in the music industry and beyond, The Polish adventure in particular, had me in stitches! I actually picked this book up to take on holiday with me but started reading it on the plane and just couldn’t put it down. The stewardess came over to me and asked me why I was laughing so much, so I told her and she said “I’ll have to buy a copy” so that’s one more sold for sure. I really cannot recommend this book highly enough. Can I give it six stars.?

I only met Matt about 6 months ago and instantly loved his fun-loving personality. Reading this book is like sitting in a pub, having drinks, and Matt telling you how it went. He Keeps you interested, entertained, and amused, and draws out your emotions too! You definitely don't want to put the book down because you need to know what happens next! Matt clearly has a heart of gold and a sense of humour some comedians can only dream of. We are already hoping we don't have to wait too long for the next book! Highly recommend this book to anyone.

What a journey this book takes you on a roller coaster of emotions. Having frequented a number of the establishments Matt writes about and seeing HJ in a number of incarnations I found myself transported back to those days of hopes and dreams, wearing spandex (coz it was cool then) and being totally immersed in the Rock Scene. I found myself laughing out loud, cringing and crying all in a matter of a few chapters with this book and could totally not put it down until I finished it. You know I did Love it Matt and big love for the memories.

I loved Matt's book. He writes honestly, and to the point, and sets me laughing out loud at many points. This is a funny but heart-filled book about Matt's efforts to achieve 'the year of the Jane'. Everyone will enjoy this book. If you have ever had the good fortune to meet Matt, even more so.

Having seen Hurricane Jane a couple of times I was quite intrigued to hear the story of them and Matt's exploits. I had a lot of laugh-out-loud moments reading the book. Even if you don't know anything about the band or Matt, you should still give it a read.

What a Brilliant insight of a band that I saw gig loads of times in the 90s I also booked them a few times while working at the red lion in Brent Ford so it was amazing that my old boss Brian Peters got a mention. Matt the author takes you through his journey with humour and a certain panache, trying his damnedest to make it big in a very hard Music industry while also dealing with the trials and tribulations of life. The title of this book says it all! “You know you love it” It’s a Rock n Roller-coaster read that you will Love.
