Quotes for Godiva Rocks;

This is what other people have said about Godiva Rocks!

"Quite simply, the most complete view of music in Coventry that's ever been written. Author, journalist and Coventry Kid Pete Chambers admits that his expertise is in Rock & Roll but nevertheless has managed to cover every type of music from classical composers to current Asian Bhangra dance music Hence my advice to save up the necessary funds, find this book, and buy it".

Tim James, blues-man and webmaster

"This book is full of bizarre stories and hilarious anecdotes, most of which took place, right here in Coventry. It's quite extraordinary to see just how many musicians the city has produced, and I'm happy to say still producing. As a piece of social history it is fascinating, as an encyclopaedia for local musicians it's invaluable, and as a Christmas present for all your relatives it's ideal!"

Horace Panter,Former bass player with the Specials.

"Pete appears to have left few stones unturned in his quest to produce a compact yet comprehensive survey of local music"

Robert Orland, Book buyer

"We’ve all got a book in us, they reckon, but Coventry music enthusiast Pete Chambers did a lot more than just dream about penning the best thing since Harry Potter. Ten months of solid research, plus a stack of memorabilia and memories to plunder, has produced a cracking encyclopaedia including all notables on the local music scene, from the arrogant Adorable to The Wild Boys. An amazing chronology of the Coventry and Warwickshire music scene".
