The only problem is that his day-job (mis)filing vinyl in a Soho record store is stealing all his time and energy, plus rival bands like Suede, Blur, Pulp and Radiohead are moving on to bigger and better things. But then someone called Ricky offers his services as a band manager and at last the dream can start. In part four the Pointy Birds start playing some bigger venues on the London circuit as their new manager Ricky looks to get them signed on the dotted line. Anoint My Head is the tale of a band who didn't become rich, or famous but had a manager who did.

A coming-of-age story about pursuing your dreams and what happens when reality gets in the way. Perfect for fans of Caitlin Moran, Nicky Hornby & Ricky Gervais.
