Two ex-welders from Oldham tell how they became one of Britain's best-loved comedy partnerships. In their own frank story the famous duo chart their success and the laughter, as well as the pain they shared along the way. 'All right cock?' was the first greeting Tommy Derbyshire ever had from Bobby Harper when they met on the factory floor in 1964.This was the start of a lifelong friendship and a double-act that would lead to stardom.As Cannon and Ball they broke all records for capacity audiences at the London Palladium and appeared in the longest running show ever in Blackpool.In this funny and moving autobiography they also reveal the personal turmoil which was the price of success. For many years they struggled in the tough club circuit and the stress of fame pushed their friendship to breaking point.A downward spiral of drink, violence and bitter back-stage feuds was hidden from the audience behind their laughter and smiles.While still performing their successful double-act the pair did not speak to each other off-stage for four years. Then the boys of comedy both hit rock bottom when the tax man came knocking.Yet with the help of their new-found Christian faith, they fought back to rebuild their lives. 'Rock on, Tommy!' tells what it's really like to reach the top the hard way. (Book ref. rja27007) £15.00
