In his refreshing autobiography, Dave Ball recounts a musical journey from his first home-made amplifier to falling for northern soul and becoming an electronic pop wizard, first with Soft Cell and later with The Grid.

This is Dave Ball's story, covering his life and illustrious career, beginning with his childhood in Blackpool, his friendship with fellow band member Marc Almond, to his journey with Soft Cell and his life after the band.
