About this listen

THE FOLLOW UP MEMOIR TO SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, BUNNYMAN

Scenic Wye Valley isn't the typical place for a rock story to begin, but when Echo & the Bunnymen hit the studio to record their ground-breaking debut album, Crocodiles, it was anything but ordinary. The album was the making of the band - cultivating a cult following which would soon evolve into staggering mainstream success. Their lives would never be the same again.

In Echoes, legendary guitarist and founding member of Echo & the Bunnymen, Will Sergeant, recounts the band's whirlwind rise to stardom with his trademark wryness and intelligence. Sharing never-before-told anecdotes - including the heady Rockfield Studio sessions and touring across the US, playing sold-out shows at Whisky a Go Go and experiencing the iconic New York club scene from dusk 'til dawn - and accompanied by snapshots of the cultural, social and political scene at the time, this is a memoir to remember.

The music at the beginning and end of this audiobook is taken from Dragonflies, an original piece written and performed by Will Sergeant

Critic reviews

The early 1980s when I was teenager were hard times under Thatcherite rule. The Bunnymen's music made it bearable for me and Will's guitar playing was - and still is - central to band's unique sound. There was so much appalling sh*te around on the radio so you had to dig around for the good stuff, but the Bunnymen's music was really successful and always brilliant, which was so rare then. Can't wait to get my mind into the new book - the last one was absolutely boss! (Richard Hawley)

Witty as the first one, can't wait for the next installment as this only takes you to 1982. I even told my Mrs to give it a go and she doesn't do audiobooks. Living not far from Melling ourselves it's a little easier for us to understand the lingo and the places. But Will gives you a run down of Scouse when needed.

Absolutely Brilliant, AGAIN!

2nd but not final part of Will's excellent biography and it is an absolute blast. Not only is the story with its anecdotes, and bits of background info a bunnymen's fan's dream but the way in which Will delivers his book feels very personal. As you listen, you are becoming acquainted.

I really look forward to the next instalment where we become friends.

Flippin' brilliant.

Great insight again into a great band. More social commentaries and music memoirs that I’m enjoying Will’s reading of every night. Looking forward to next one already.

Will has done it again

I cannot recommend this strongly enough. Often I find the rock autobiography to be myopic and self serving but, happily, both volumes of this memoir are the exceptions that prove the rule. Roll on volume 3.

Entertaining, vivid and honest.

The eternal rock and roll story.

At 18 my first real gig was Echo & The Bunnymen, 1984 Ocean Rain Tour, played the album to death!
A masterpiece!
Thanks Will for sharing your story in your unique way

Boss book by a lovely guy who I had the pleasure of meeting some years ago.

Insightful, well written and funny

Seems like a bygone age of music: up and down motorways, old forgotten venues. This is why I love this. Obviously it helps that Will is very funny and self effacing…and a Bunnyman.
Warmly speaks of Pete throughout which makes me sad for when part 3 comes along

When’s the next part
