Englishman by Toby Broom - Book signed by the author

A singular reflection on a life in reggae music by Toby Broom aka Mr Swing Easy.  New and improved, corrected punctuation and higher quality print, and former Dub Vendor Best Seller..  Toby's travails through the lower echelons of the world of the British reggae DJ are related in a lively and readable fashion, his aspirations piqued by exposure to the legendary Gentleman DJ David Rodigan, whose unique position in the world of reggae has set the bar impossibly high.  Broom may have hoped to sweep clean, but the old broom knows the corners as they say, and early ambitions are cruelly crushed by the grim reality of what may sometimes appear to be a heartless world.  However, Toby persists and remains committed to his beloved music and the many true friends he has made during his odyssey.  One can only warm to Broom's unquenchable thirst for playing reggae music to a sometimes indifferent audience, or indeed any audience at all.  A thoroughly engaging read.
