A Hermit's Tale - A Memoir by Keith Hopwood

A Hermit's Tale — The Memoir

From humble Manchester beginnings to becoming one-fifth of Herman's Hermits — one of the defining pop bands of the British Invasion — Keith Hopwood's story is one of chance, chemistry, and reinvention. A Hermit's Tale is his own candid account of coming of age inside the strange, exhilarating world of 1960s rock 'n' roll: the whirlwind of fame, the pressures of the industry, the decision to eventually leave the band, and the second act that followed as he rebuilt himself into a respected producer and composer for film and television.

Told entirely in Keith's own voice, this isn't a polished, sanitised pop history — it's the real story, warts and all, of a life lived at the centre of one of music's most iconic eras and everything that came after it.

Every copy is a genuine hardback, built to be kept and returned to rather than skimmed once and shelved, printed to a standard that matches the story inside. Woven through the book are personal scans and photographs of memorabilia and moments from Keith's own archive — many appearing publicly for the very first time. It's the closest most readers will ever get to going through the boxes with him.

Each copy is hand-signed by Keith Hopwood. Numbers are limited — once they're gone, they're gone.
