BUSHCAT - minstrel of the wild

The story of John Edmond is a patchwork of vivid Africana, a history trilogy and the story of a man and his music. Fascinating and informative, this book embraces Africa from ancient times through pre- and post- colonial times.

It tells of a childhood spent in both Scotland and Africa, covers Southern African changes and events and chronicles Edmond’s involvement in the Rhodesian and South African security forces. It allows some insight into his love of the martial arts, aviation and the magical world of music, his overriding passion.

The evocative writing is laced with lyrics of many of the songs that were written to document the story of a chequered and absorbing life.

Hardcover book with 308 pages, and introduction by Chas Lotter.
