Glenn Shorrock is a music icon. With a career spanning more than fifty years, he is one of the elder statesmen of Australian contemporary show business. Now, Where Was I? is Glenn's story in his own words. After emigrating with his family to Australia as a 'ten-pound Pom' in the 1950s, his success took him to international stardom.
From his time with sixties pop band the Twilights, his work with Brian Cadd and Axiom in the early 1970s, to fronting the chart-topping Little River Band, Glenn tells his story in an intelligent, witty style that recalls the heady days of rock 'n' roll - the big names, the long tours and the bitter controversies - without losing his unique sense of humour and wonderful touch of irony.
"Glenn Shorrock and his quite exquisite voice has been a part of our lives for more than fifty years. The tales he tells, with great wit and enduring good humour, is an evocation of time and place for anyone who has ever turned on a radio. This is Reminiscing of the first order."
- Glenn A. Baker
GLENN SHORROCK is one of Australian music's most recognisable personalities - and voices! Born in Kent, England in 1944, following his family's decision to emigrate to Australia in the 1950s. There, in the early 1960s, Glenn formed a 'doo-wop' a capella group with some other lads which later became the nucleus for the chart-topping pop group the Twilights.
Winning Australia's 'Battle of the Bands' in 1966, Glenn and the boys found themselves in England at the end of the year, recording at Abbey Road while the Beatles wrote 'Penny Lane' in the studio next door. After the demise of the Twilights in 1969, Glenn joined Brian Cadd to form Axiom, with their hit 'A Little Ray Of Sunshine' becoming an Australian classic.
In 1975 Glenn became the frontman of a new group, Little River Band. For the next five years, the band travelled and performed around the world, enjoying enormous success in the US and Europe with a string of top-ten hits. In 1982, he decided to take a break from touring but the group replaced him with John Farnham. Although he later returned to the band in the late-1980s, the founding members lost the right to perform under the LRB name.
Now in his seventh decade, Shorrock is still going strong.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
