A Hermit's Tale
The Memoir
Sixty years in music, in his own words...
A Hermit's Tale is a personal account of humble Manchester beginnings to being one-fifth of world-famous pop band Herman’s Hermits and all that came next.
Coming of age in the surreal world of 1960s rock’n’roll, navigating the ups, downs, ins and outs of the enigmatic music industry machine, leaving the band then landing back on home turf to forge a career as a successful producer and composer, Keith Hopwood’s life has been many things, but certainly never dull.
Here he candidly recounts the whole experience.
