MAGIC: THE DAVID PATON STORY
David Paton SONICBOND PUBLISHING
Eminently readable memoir from Bush, Wakeman and Camel collaborator.
The pre-fame chapters of music memoirs can be dull; not so with Edinburgh-born singer and bassist, David Paton. We hear of his dad’s Ouija board use and early encounters with UK comedy giants Hattie Jacques and John Le Mesurier, but his account of his brief tenure in The Bay City Rollers understandably avoids rumination upon one of pop’s darkest stories.
