Description
What do Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Elvis Costello, Rush and Chumbawamba have in common?
Kim Hawes, pioneering female tour manager.
Through hard work, hard partying and hard times, Kim refused to conform to others’ expectations. She hurled a TV through the glass ceiling of the male dominated music industry, blazing a trail for young women today.
This is no ordinary tale of life on the road.
