The tremolo diaries: life on the road and other diseases
On the shelf? Just pop in.
While touring America in 2022, frontman and bassist of legendary Scottish rock band Del Amitri Justin Currie noticed that something wasn't right after developing a tremor in his right arm. Following a visit to a neurologist in Glasgow, he was told that he had early onset Parkinson's disease. But rather than surrendering to his diagnosis, Justin decided to get back on the road and continue touring. This volume chronicles what it's like for a jobbing musician to be told they have Parkinson's. It is divided into two parts, with the first half offering strikingly honest glimpses into Justin's life following his diagnosis through diary entries he kept on tour in the US, while the latter half traces Del Amitri's 2024 European tour with the band recording their eighth album. This is a compellingly stark reflection on receiving a life-changing diagnosis.
