Ross Halfin said, “Of all the people I’ve known over the years Pete could be the funniest and also the most infuriating person. Of all the recent musicians to leave the stage, Pete’s exit hit me the hardest so I wanted to do this book in his honour with the people that really knew him also sharing their memories. The idea of this book is really to celebrate a friend of mine and for all his faults he was a very funny person and someone I always considered a true friend.”

Pete Way, UFO’s bass guitarist, was one of rock’s most admired and celebrated performers. The co-writer of some of the band’s greatest songs, including Lights Out, Only You Can Rock Me and Too Hot To Handle, Way’s powerful playing and dynamic stage act captured the imagination of UFO audiences worldwide. Up until his death in August 2020, Way’s energy and style had made him an unforgettable rock star and an inspiration to both his contemporaries and future generations of musicians.

This is the deluxe, A3 Edition of the book, supplied in a material slipcase, signed by Ross complete with a Pete Way giclee print. Numbered 1 to 150.

About the Photograher: Ross Halfin has for four decades has been among the world’s foremost photographers. Having studied fine art at the Wimbledon School Of Art during the 1970s, Ross had planned to be a painter but found art college too pretentious and creatively stifling. Halfin got into music photography almost by accident, sneaking his cameras into concerts by the likes of The Who, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Man and Free. Because Sounds, Melody Maker and the NME were interested in the punk scene Ross also shot The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Jam, Adam Ant, The Adverts, The Specials and Blondie, but he preferred bands with bigger, more eye-catching stage shows and rock stars who looked and behaved as such, not self-pitying, apologetic little weasels.
