My Take - Gary Barlow

 
Description: ISBN 0747587647 / Author: Gary Barlow / Genre: Music / Take That was the original and the best British boy band ever. Their records sold millions, and they sold out arenas in less time than it took to play one of their singles. Gary Barlow was the band's secret weapon: their ... more
My Take - Gary Barlow ... gifted, down-to-earth front man who not only wrote most of their greatest hits - Back for Good, Never Forget, and A Million Love Songs - but sang them too. But the band decided to quit at the height of their fame. What followed for Gary is an inspiring journey of highs and lows: from the promising start of his solo career to his crisis in confidence. The public who had once worshipped him almost seemed to forget he existed. Much has been said about Gary but he himself has remained silent until now. For the first time, Gary tells his full story from his childhood in Cheshire to life after Take That: the early start at thirteen working in a social club; a career as a teenager working the northern clubs; and the life-changing moment when he met Nigel Martin-Smith, a Manchester modeling agent who wanted to put together a boy-band. Gary will reveal what life on the road with Take That was really like and the truth behind the rumours of their petty feuding. He will also finally settle the speculation around his painfully public fall-out with Robbie. Throughout his experiences Gary has remained as determined and as positive as he was when he was given his first keyboard at eleven. It is this determination and spirit that has helped him bounce back. He has established himself as a successful songwriter writing for the likes of Blue, Delta Goodrem, and Charlotte Church. And now he's made one of pop's great comebacks with the Take That reunion tour, ten years after the band split up. Gary Barlow and Take That are back centre stage once again - where they belong.

The book gives you a lot of inside in the music industry and into his private live (incl. celebrities like Elton John) It is a very interesting book with lots of little stories, that even Take That fans wouldn't know about. You think, by reading all the interviews, seeing the videos and reading the Take That books, you know it all, but in fact Gary reveals a lot new "secrets" that puts it all into new prospective.

Even though I'm not a big fan of this autobiography boom that is going on at the moment, I asked to have Gary Barlows autobiography as a Christmas present and I just got round to finish it. The only autobiography I read before this was Robbies and I have to say, there is no comparison. Gary's is a very easy read and very interesting whereas I felt like Robbies was dragging on a bit. It might be because Gary used a ghost-writer, which gives the book a better quality. It takes you through Gary's whole live, from his childhood, through to his days as a soloartist in clubs to his time in Take That and afterwards up to the reunion.

A lot of good music for female voices. Easy to learn, fun to sing! It lacks the song "Eye of the beholder"

a good story, well written you need to see it acted outcould be a bit heavy for some
