Dawn - The Nice Story
Wymer Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-915246-87-5 (ISBN)
a detailed exploration of the uniqueness, achievements and music of The Nice —
as well as the spin-off groups Jackson Heights, Refugee and beyond —
celebrating them as a band worthy of critical recognition in their own right.
Formed in 1967, The Nice have
largely been regarded as something of a footnote in popular music history — the
band through which Keith Emerson came into the spotlight prior to forming
Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
Crucially,
taking ELP out of the equation, The Nice were one of the pioneering bands of
the late sixties, their fusion of rock, jazz and classical music exerting a
strong influence on the progressive rock of the seventies.
In Dawn –
The Nice Story, Laura Shenton MA LLCM DipRSL offers a detailed exploration
of the uniqueness, achievements and music of The Nice — as well as the spin-off
groups Jackson Heights, Refugee and beyond — celebrating them as a band worthy
of critical recognition in their own right.
As an author, Laura Shenton is probably best known for her music non-fiction. In particular, Dance With The Devil – The Cozy Powell Story (Wymer Publishing) and Tommy Bolin – In and Out of Deep Purple (Sonicbond Publishing). She feels that preserving the legacies of musicians who have contributed something amazing to the field is imperative. For readers who want to enjoy the ride of letting their mind get lost in a good story without having to commit to a lengthy read, then it might just be that Laura's fiction books could be your cup of tea. They are character-driven with a short and punchy narrative that gets to the point. They are all novellas or novelettes. Genres include gothic, fantasy, and adventure (mostly, but with a few diversions too). And finally, Laura's children's books... They are simple, accessible and fun. A good choice for youngsters with a fertile imagination who are at the very start of their reading journey.
