Men of a Certain Age

'Fascinating, funny and tender. I loved this book so much' -- Adam Buxton
'My favourite writer and interviewer, bar none. Whirligig, funny, incisive, often brutally honest - always surprising - but also tender and humane. She's a genius!' -- Jude Rogers
'Kate invariably notices something about her chosen subjects that 99 per cent of writers, who have been covering them for decades, miss entirely. This collection of her encounters with music's lifers abounds with such observations, proving once more that the thing we really want to do with rock stars is get close and have a damned good look at them' -- David Hepworth
'The greatest music writers compel you to understand the world as they are fated to understand it, along the way breathing new life to the records that shaped that world. If Kate Mossman's name is on it, then I want to read it. Simple as that' -- Pete Paphides
'Colourful ... insightful ... addictions, rivalries, dodgy hips and the demands of mega-fame are all pondered' 4/5 * Mojo *
'Each splendid piece offers[s] candid insights into the bizarre yet normalised process and curious dynamic we call an "interview" ... A kind of magic' 4/5 * Record Collector *
'A tale of what makes fandom tick, of what it means to meet your heroes when their glory days are well behind them ... there's an honesty, intellectual curiosity and an element of self-discovery at the heart of it all that makes Men of a Certain Age a compelling read and elevates it above your standard rock-journo memoir. 8/10' * Classic Rock *
'Insightful ... detailed and well-researched with exemplary storytelling' -- Louder than War
'Mossman writes about music ... with a feeling and an instinctive musical knowledge ... it's the writing that gets you ... the sheer quality of the prose ... I know music critics who are, in a good way, seething with envy at how well she writes. And they are right to do so' * The Oldie *
'An enjoyable, humorous and intriguing read' * Buzz Magazine *
