Moving Music: The Memoirs of Rikki Stein

Renowned music manager Rikki Stein has spent nearly six decades moving musicians around the world, and this book recounts a lifetime of adventure on the road. Always in the right place at the right time, Rikki was part of the great countercultural moments of the last century, from Woodstock to the launch of Glastonbury Festival.
