‘A fascinating subject for narcissists.’
*Stephen Bayley, New Statesman*
‘We have radio producer Nick Baker to thank for identifying a new
social phenomenon called ‘Groovy Old Men.’ Like other good
definitions I kick myself that I didn’t think of it myself, as I
instantly know what – and more important who – Groovy Old Men
are.’
*Emma Soames, Saga Magazine*
‘Funny and observant’
*Daily Mail*
‘A deserved tribute to the first generation of men who didn’t just
turn into their fathers at 21.’
*The Word Magazine*
‘If the man in your life is still into sex, drugs and rock ‘n’
roll, this one’s for him.’
*Aberdeen Press & Journal*
‘’Groovy Old Men’ are not just for Christmas shopping, they’re for
(a very long and groovy) life.'
*Kathryn Flett, Observer*
‘At home with modern technology, at ease with contemporary brands,
books and bands and as keen on a pair of Converse All Stars as any
Jumping Jack Flash a quarter their age, Groovy Old Men have utterly
failed to age. But there is more to them than artfully cut chinos
and a well-stocked iPod. Above all, Groovy Old Men have maintained
a youthful curiosity that keeps them as excited by modern culture
as they ever were when they discovered, say, the blues around the
time they did their National Service.’
*Emma Soames, Saga Magazine*
‘A humorous and provocative commentary on the role and status of
the more mature man in the 21st century.’
*Sunday Herald*
