Floodlit Dreams is delighted to announce that ‘There’s Gonna Be A Show’ by Jimmy Mulville is now available as an eBook on the Kindle store.
Jimmy, one of the most significant figures in British television as owner and managing director of Hat Trick Productions, is a lifelong devotee of Everton FC. He has loved them, left them and finally returned to them over the course of their modern history of 80s success followed by regular Premier League struggles.
There’s Gonna Be A Show tells his story: how he grew up less than a mile from Goodison Park, left to read Classics at Cambridge University and how a media career followed. But there were tragedies too – his father’s suicide and his own drug addiction. The book tells how Jimmy reconnected with his home city after getting clean and sober and helped Bill Kenwright buy the club.
There’s Gonna Be A Show received a fantastic response on publication:
“Really beautiful… If you’re an Everton fan, you must buy this book. If you’re a football fan of a certain age, I would really recommend it as well. A really funny, smart writer talking about football, his family and what it means. You will laugh and cry.” –Richard Osman, The Rest Is Entertainment podcast
“There’s Gonna be a Show is a book full of love. Love of football, love of family and love of home. Fittingly I loved it. Honest, funny and wise, it is about so much more than football although there’s plenty of rip roaring action to be savoured. A joy.” – Nick Hancock
“A superb new memoir –JimWhite, the Telegraph
There’s Gonna Be A Show is available now on the Kindle store for £7.99.
