DOUG
Sandom’s part in the making of the most exciting rock band in the world can
never be underestimated. He joined The Who – then known as The Detours – as
their drummer in 1962 after an unexpected meeting with Roger Daltrey on a west
London street. It was a time when fires were being lit under the music scene
worldwide, everything had to change and The Detours had a long way to go to
become revolutionary leaders in their field. Having finally decided to write
his memoirs, Doug Sandom chronicles each stage of the band’s transition right
up to his, Roger Daltrey’s, Pete Townshend’s and John Entwistle’s emergence
from their chrysalis as The Who. It is a punchy tale of gritty determination
and ever-burning passion for music. As Pete Townshend writes in his moving
Foreword ‘Doug Sandom’s work with our band gave me the confidence to drive the
band as a writer and creative thinker . . . ‘
