This is a book about origins, identity and who we become. It’s about a kid who found solace in music when the very sense of who he was left him floundering. It is about how his journey to discover his family allowed him to reflect on who he could have been had he not been given away at birth. Who’s The Boy With The Lovely Hair? is a tale about discovering, processing and making peace with who you are, and ultimately asking: “How much of us is nature and how much is nurture?” The book is published as a 400 page hardback, including 48 pages of photographs documenting Jakko’s life and career. Who’s The Boy With The Lovely Hair? is, at first glance, a traditional rock’n’roll memoir, charting Jakko’s long and varied musical career, packed with eyebrow-raising and hilarious anecdotes about his encounters with everyone from Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Cliff Richard and Gene Simmons, to Uri Geller, Jack Charlton, Audrey Hepburn, the Dalai Lama and crossing swords with Millwall Football Club’s dodgy director Reg Burr. Step away from the tales from the trenches of late 20th and early 21st century rock’n’roll, theatre and alternative comedy, and you uncover:- The harrowing stories of his adoptive parents’ lives during World War II. - Discovering his adoptive father had fought on both sides of that war . - His birth mother’s fame as a successful singer in Ireland . - Jakko finding and meeting his birth mother and self-proclaimed ‘white supremacist’ step-siblings . - How a lonely, despondent adopted child ended up working and playing with his childhood heroes.
