Barbarossa, Dave, Mud Sharks, : Ignite Books, 2012.By g perryMud Sharks is self- described as "A powerful, nostalgic story of a boy growing up in 1970s London" where the main character, Harry Ferdinand, "confronts racism, violence and the reality behind the trappings of fame." Author and iconic drummer Dave Barbarossa, having achieved acclaim during the late 1970s and early 1980s in and Bow Wow Wow, writes from first-hand knowledge about the experiences of Harry, whose teenage years are marred by abuse and anguish and who responds by way of bouts of rebellion.Harry's resilience is extraordinary as he discovers the love of drumming which serves not only as an outlet for his pent-up frustrations but ultimately proves a vehicle for fame. Fame, however, proves in many ways to be more bizarre than the world of his youth, leaving Harry in a constant quest to find the stability that has eluded him. His is a story of transitions, some more positive than others as he and his companions fight battles well-associated with music stardom.Although Mud Sharks is a billed as a novel, understanding the author's background is sure to leave the informed reader trying to separate fact from fiction. It is possible, for example, that the book represents a reality in which the names were changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty. Thus, the book is entirely believable, especially for anyone who has been around the music industry in any capacity (much less survived one's teenage years).Barbarossa's writing style is surprisingly poetic, even though the reader (especially one not versed in British working class language) is often left resorting to context clues to decipher the slang he uses to express the late 1970s punk culture. Complicating matters is the occasional use of time-jumping, which can sometimes serve to confuse the reader as to place and time. However, these issues are minor and do not detract from the value of the work, which despite its length reads quickly and interestingly. Especially intriguing are the layers the author peels away from main characters, whose vulnerabilities are exposed from beneath their brash punk auras. Mud Sharks is entertaining to say the least and is a must for anyone trying to understand this important musical era.--G. Perry, historian, Nashville, TNMud Sharks0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A triumphant first novel - HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDBy R. L. RossSet in the late '70's, this is a gritty story of a young man's journey from an abusive homelife to feeling like an outcast amongst his teen peers to escaping and ultimately finding success as a musician in London's burgeoning scene. You cannot help but root for "Harry", the main character as he goes through the emotional tidal waves that growing up does - Mr. Barbarossa captures the emotions perfectly - he delivers a universal theme that anyone can relate to. And you can't help but appreciate being absorbed into such a story. Please - buy a copy; it's a fantastic read.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Mud Sharks describes how it was to be a mixed-race teenager growing up in 1970s Britain, with the casual racism of the time, and how the emergence of punk rock changed so many lives, including that of the protagonist, Harry Ferdinand. A wry, fast-paced, and honest look at the machinations of the music industry, it is also the story of Harry's journey from boy to man.

About the Author"Unique, stylish, ever innovative: Dave Barbarossa's reputation precedes him. Since first coming to prominence as the percussive bedrock upon which the original Adam And The Ants built their fearsome reputation as punk's ultimate antiheroes, Dave's never stood still, looked back or rested on his laurels. Upon developing a characteristic Burundi-inspired tribal style, Dave emerged from the independent underground (The Ants' landmark , Derek Jarman's Jubilee) to full-blown international mainstream pop stardom with Bow Wow Wow. Managed by Malcolm McLaren, styled by Vivienne Westwood, Bow Wow Wow rapidly graduated from sensational controversy (the piratical Cassette Pet of C30 C60 C90 Go, the Manet-parodying See Jungle... album sleeve) to a string of timeless hit singles (Chihuahua, , ) that came to define the early eighties. Always setting, rather than following, fashion, Dave metamorphosed from post-punk hit-maker to dance innovator with such iconic acts as , Adamski and , while simultaneously maintaining an enviable position as one of the music world's most sought-after session players. Invariably challenging convention, Dave's latest musical adventure is the effervescent amalgam of audacious punk energy, primal percussive passion and cutting edge, head rush techno that is Cauldronated. Once heard, never forgotten; peerless, inimitable. One of the most original, respected and influential drummers of his generation, Dave Barbarossa's journey continues."
