In 2025, he had a book published which was a sort of biography of his son and the importance of music to their lives. It's subtitled 'A story of love and connection in ten songs'.
The author explores the connection that he made with his son, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3.
The title is also the name of a song by Paul McCartney.
The structure of the book is based in 10 chapters around 10 particular songs. In this respect it is similar to the book I mentioned on the 2nd of January by Lucy
Two of the songs in the book are by The Beatles. (There is also one by Nick Drake and two by Kraftwerk).
A review by Tim Clare here describes all you need to know about this powerful book and the power of music to bring people together and overcome personal anxieties and challenges.
"his initial doomy grief gives way to a constellation of admiration, fear, humour, awe and, of course, love."
Here's the author speaking about the book at a 5x15 session
