Summary
In her bestselling autobiography, Bedsit Disco Queen, Tracey Thorn recalled the highs and lows of a 30-year career in pop music. But with the touring, recording and extraordinary anecdotes, there wasn't time for an in-depth look at what she actually did for all those years: sing. She sang with warmth and emotional honesty, sometimes while battling acute stage fright.
Part memoir, part wide-ranging exploration of the art, mechanics and spellbinding power of singing, Naked at the Albert Hall takes in Dusty Springfield, Dennis Potter and George Eliot; Auto-Tune, the microphone and stage presence; The Streets and The X Factor.
Including interviews with fellow artists such as Alison Moyet, Romy Madley-Croft and Green Gartside of Scritti Politti and portraits of singers in fiction as well as Tracey's real-life experiences, it offers a unique, witty and sharply observed insider's perspective on the exhilarating joy and occasional heartache of singing.

Tracey read the book to me as though she was sitting by my side having tea!
Suburbly written and very honest.
I want to hear it all again now!

Tracy could write about anything & make it entertaining.
A must read for anyone who enjoys singing or loves listening to the sing word but thinks how do they do it? Stories abound about singers as diverse as herself, Dusty Springfield,Jonny Rotten & Scott Walker. From Opera to punk and jazz. A very informative & entertaining book.
