Ten years before he joined the Rolling Stones, Ronnie Wood's musical apprenticeship with the Birds catapulted him onto the stage of swinging London's music scene, aged just 17. Featuring a cast of characters including Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Keith Moon, Marianne Faithfull and many more, the story of Ronnie's adventures was handwritten in his 1965 diary. Inspired by its discovery 50 years later, Ronnie Wood presents his journal for the first time, with an introduction by Charlie Watts and much more in this signed book and record set. Ronnie Wood: 'I suppose my own private world is in the diary.' In this book, Ronnie Wood shares a series of original artworks inspired by the content of his diary. Friends and musicians such as The Who are featured, as are early musical influences such as Howlin' Wolf. Others bring to life memories of everyday life: loading a van with his bandmates, or pushing a stalled car home. Drawings of the guitars and amps Wood used embellish his words - with new anecdotes often personally reproduced in Wood's own calligraphy.
