The Redhead Gets the Gig: A Musical Memoir by Linn Lorkin

Over the years, musician Linn Lorkin has embedded herself in this country’s consciousness with her vivid, witty and recognisably Kiwi songs. Now in this rich memoir, those musical vignettes have grown into full-blown and sometimes hair-raising adventures. From a rural New Zealand childhood to the piano bars of Manhattan, via London in the age of Aquarius, hashish and Sergeant Pepper, with side trips to Paris and Copenhagen and a terrifying detour through Naples’ notorious Villa Poggi, it is both a classic tale of the period and the utterly unique life story of a redhead from Tokoroa who, when it came down to it, was really only ever looking for a gig. --Nick Bollinger, presenter of The Sampler for National Radio; author of Goneville and Jumping Sundays. This 2022 Steele Roberts Paperback is in near mint condition.
