As you all know i’ve spent the majority of my summer going back and forth to ibiza. Why??? simple, cause i just love the place if you didn’t already know. I always make an effort to visit at least once a year but this year i managed to go 5 times. Fitting the island in 5 times was no easy task let me tell you especially when i had gigs in Corfu, Magaluf and all over the Uk in-between. Some times i’d have to jump on 3 planes just to get to my destination and many flights bought and lost due to last minute gigs but thats the price i was willing to pay just to get to “that” island even if it was just for 2 days.
I’ve put myself in these traveling situations for about 8 years all to taste the fun, mayhem, carnage, chaos, party’s, sunsets, beaches, people, food (even if i only manage 1 spaghetti Bolognese a week) hedonism and a good taste of that rock’n’roll the island has to offer. It’s these things that bring me back to the island year in year out. Over those 8 years i have seen and done many things all having their own unique story. A lot of these story’s are based on excess but hey, thats why i go to ibiza……………to loose my mind and live life.
For years people have e mailed me, twitted me, facebooked me and told me “You should write a book”. Believe me i have thought the same for many years and have always wanted to, but to write a book properly i would need a good 4 months away from work and any distraction to get it done properly and in my job thats impossible.
last year one of “those” tweets came off a guy called stuart Griffiths (his twitter is @StuGriffstar follow him all) who told me i should write a book. He had already written a book called Ibiza Rocked of his experience on the island as a holiday rep. You can buy it via this web site www.ibizarocked.com he asked me if i would like a copy and if i would review it for him which i happily did. It’s a great book with a great story if very sad, buy it.
We hooked up and had a chat about writing a book together about my love for ibiza, how i always wanted to go to the island, my first visit up until the present day along with all the stories, parties and the excess that came with it along with loosing my mind on quite a few occasions, the women, the clubs, Dj’s, Dirty Sanchez & Pritchard vs Dainton gigs and even a run in with the Russian Mafia. A no holes barred book about my story of Ibiza with all the trimmings. To tell you the truth i’m finding it very hard remembering it all for obvious reasons but i’m slowly gathering info by hooking up with friends i have been with over the years to remind me. Do you have a story of me in Ibiza??? photos??? out of interest would you be interested in reading this kind of book??? if so, what format would you buy it in?? electronic i.e kindle/ipad or paper back???
myself and stuart are really interested in your feedback. if you would like to help towards this book or have any answers to the questions i’ve asked please e mail :
pritchardswyd@mac.com or stuart@ibizarocked.com
We will spend the whole winter writting this book and it will be ready for release late spring 2012 ready to kick off the new Ibiza season. Expect a banging launch party in the Uk and of course in Ibiza.
lets put pen to paper
