Austin Macauley Publishers are proud to announce Legendary BBC Radio 1 host ‘Diddy’ David Hamilton’s new memoir

Legendary BBC radio 1 host ‘Diddy’ David Hamilton releases a candid new memoir with Austin Macauley Publishers.

In celebration of six decades in broadcasting, his debut new title David Hamilton’s Long and Winding Road contains an honest reflection on his rock’n’roll past.

From his controversial love affairs and collaborations with British television icons to his enduring career in broadcasting, Hamilton reveals all in his new memoir, published on July 19th.

As a household name of the seventies, his impressive career includes hosting over 12,000 radio shows, 1000 television shows and broadcasting to over 18 million listeners. With a resume like this, he has certainly earned the title as one of the nation’s most recognisable voices.

From his humble beginnings on a remote farm in Sussex, dreaming of the bright lights, to working across the UK and US alongside famous names like Ken Dodd and Benny Hill, and even interviewing The Beatles, the memoir's star-studded pages will transport readers back to the golden age of British showbiz.

On a journey filled with deep dives, relationship woes and heartfelt reflections along the way, after over fifty years, his story brings him right back to the same farm where he started – the same farm he would broadcast from on national radio in his mid-eighties.

In this remarkably frank memoir, David shares his career highlights to inspire and entertain a new generation of readers.
