In The Eyeline of Furtherance, charts John Howard’s rise from 70’s pop idol to a career in A & R and marketing.

The ‘90s opened up new vistas, ever bigger and better opportunities, working with Elkie Brooks, Madness, Barry Manilow and rock 'n’ roll heroes Lonnie Donegan and The Crickets. As John puts it, I was propelled onwards and upwards, not this time by my own ambition, but by the plans of others who had clearly decided that I was going places in a direction I would never have imagined twenty years earlier.

John Howard’s first book, Incidents Crowded With Life, followed the ambitions of a young gay singer-songwriter in London in the ‘70s which were realised after being signed by CBS Records and recording his debut LP at Abbey Road studios. En route, he wrote the theme song for a Peter Fonda movie and was heralded as The Next Big Thing. And all the while navigating a series of disastrous personal events, not least when he broke his back in 1976.
