The frontman of an Eric Clapton-inspired band from the area has published his memoir.
Mike Hall, of After Midnight, has published Before Midnight, which recounts his early life in Durham and Newcastle up to 1985 and is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.
Mr Hall said: "It covers the period up to 1985 when I formed After Midnight after being inspired by Eric Clapton’s performance at Live Aid."
The memoir reflects on his childhood and musical beginnings in the 1950s and 60s, his school days, and the gigs and musicians that fuelled his passion for guitar.
Mr Hall said: "At school I developed a love for music and in particular for the guitar, as played by my heroes, Hank Marvin, George Harrison, Paul Kossoff, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton and many others."
The book also describes concerts he attended by bands like The Beatles, Cream, and Clapton himself, as well as the north east venues that shaped his musical journey.
