概要
I was in the right place at exactly the right time.
I was handed a precious backstage pass to this magical period, as a chronicler of some of its most significant moments, of its wild protagonists, whether in music, entertainment, fashion, football, art or politics.
I had a front-row seat for that insane decade, but it was 1996 that was the period’s stunning apex. Oasis at Maine Road and Knebworth, the births of Robbie Williams the solo star and the Spice Girls, the Euro 96 football tournament and ‘Three Lions’, the rise of New Labour and Tony Blair.
I was there for the lot.
1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves. The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram. Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star – and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth.
Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn’t watching the party from afar – he was in the room.
Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro ’96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse.
Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain – and created legends along the way.
Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again?
If you were there – this book will feel like going home.
If you weren’t – you’ll wish you had been.
批評家のレビュー
"Nobody writes about the Nineties better than Dominic Mohan – he is the baggy-trousered poet laureate of that mad-for-it, up-for-it and frequently out-of-it decade when Britain swung once more. Here is that music-mad, sun-drenched and curiously innocent country in all its swaggering glory – a glorious celebration of a younger, better and happier time.” – Tony Parsons
“Dom was everywhere in the 90s and there is nobody better placed to stitch those historic moments together and document them in a brilliant belter of a book like this.” – Paul Oakenfold
“Dominic clearly remembers more about the 90s than I do.” – Zoe Ball
“This book is redolent of a time when the country had a deeper shared experience culturally and, politically, while some of it was completely time-bound there are elements which are timeless lessons about how countries do well.” – Tony Blair
“Britpoptastic!” – Alex James
