FAN REVIEWS:
"It’s a fabulous insight into the music business. As for the album there are so many tremendous songs on there, you are a great songwriter, a lovely variety of songs on the album...​" - Gary B

"Please, please could you stop writing earworm songs? If it's not 'Always Rushing In', (co-write with Mary Hopkin), I have the amazing mantra harmony line.. "Just Give Me Peace Of Mind (It's the simple truth), going around and around my blooming head." - Alan R

"Just finished the book and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The album is superb, it’s been on repeat all weekend." - Martin L

"This is a fantastic book. I recommend it to everyone in the music business, everyone who listens to music, those who have more than two capos, and those interested in Adele's lower lumbar vertebrae." - Jonathan C

" Your book is really good. So funny, had me giggling out loud on the bus. You have an engaging way with words. As for your music I've got patio doors open wide and the music turned up loud haha. Just so the neighbours can enjoy it too." - Ruth L-H

"You know what you should do? BUY THIS BOOK! And read it too, preferably.
I’ve just finished Jessica’s odyssey into this strange, messy and flippant thing we call the music industry. And it’s brilliant, biting, wise and forthright - all the best qualities Jess brings to everything she does.
You get the things you expect from a memoir - the famous family, the dips into the music scene, the raucousness of gigging life - but it’s so much more unique than that. Jess has poured a literal lifetime of music into a comprehensive guide to navigating the industry, from wellness tips to knowing your rights, from performing etiquette to being your own PR machine. Practical advice grounded in decades of experience, every section with a story that brings home the point.
For anyone who considers music their vocation, get this book. Seriously. It’s not a blueprint to ‘fame’ - be wary of anything that claims to be - but it shows you all the skills and personal qualities you need to cultivate. Maybe you’ll be a pop star. Maybe you’ll be a serious hobbyist respected by your peers. Maybe you’ll be just on the cusp of being found. Or maybe you’re looking to pivot to something more stable but still keeping music in your grasp. This book covers that all and more with the aim of getting you to a point where you’re happy in your musical space." - Sam G aka Sam Woodland
