It's Always Summer Somewhere by Felix WhiteAvailable for over a year
Part five of White's memoir about cricket, music and loss, read by the author. In the wake of unprocessed grief, Felix's band takes off, as does the England team. Felix White is a musician, writer and broadcaster best known as a guitarist in The Maccabees. He subsequently co-founded independent record label Yala! and co-presents the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Tailenders podcast with Greg James. In It's Always Summer Somewhere he recalls growing up, his mother's illness and slowly replacing an ambition to be a left arm spinner in his school cricket team with the dazzling realities of life in a world renowned band.
