Title: Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure: An Indie Odyssey in Peterborough Author: Pete Elderkin Narrator: Pete Elderkin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 51 minutes Release date: July 28, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Growing up in Peterborough, voted the 'worst place to live in England & the UK', certainly had its challenges. But a love for Nick Cave's band and a passion for indie music launched the author, Pete Elderkin, on a series of extraordinary events while following a dream to reach that holy grail for rock groups, a BBC Radio One John Peel session. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure details the ups and downs of being in the wrong place and time while trying to DJ and run an exciting alternative music club in a what seemed a hostile, provincial environment.   This is a wry, self-depreciating memoir set over eleven years and telling the true story of The Sugar Club and how it, improbably, became one of the longest running nightclubs in the UK. It captures, with first-hand contributors, the fun experiences and social history of the unique 1990s and 2000s, when the grunge and Britpop scenes came from out of nowhere to the forefront of the UK music scene.     'I loved it. A beautiful, big-hearted book. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure is a love letter to a lost time when music was at the centre of the universe.' Tony Parsons, journalist, broadcaster and author.
