So where previous works have concentrated largely on these aspects of Moon’s character, Instant party - Musings, Memories and Minutiae takes a more rounded view of the man and the circumstances that affected his tragically short life.

 Not a regular, chronological biography, this book comprises a series of stand alone chapters cover­ing areas of Keith’s life which have often gone undocumented.

 The author has spent several years speaking to a wide range of Keith Moon’s friends, colleagues and associates - some of whom have never before gone ‘on record’ - to reveal a picture of Moon often at odds with his recognised persona.
