Johnny Daukes was the victim of sexual abuse during his adolescence. It took him several decades to understand just how deeply the experience had impacted upon his life, his family and his career. Now, in his unflinching and powerful memoir - ‘Shadowman - Records Of A Life Corrupted’ - he tells his story with bittersweet honesty. He joined me to speak about recovering from abuse and understanding the way it shaped his career in songwriting as front man with the nineties band, Fin.
Shadowman: Records of a Life Corrupted by Johnny Daukes is published on 27th October by Red Door, price £12.99 hardback. Pre-order it here.
