Publisher's Synopsis
Richard Jobson had only just left school in Dunfermline in 1977 when, along with Stuart Adamson, Bill Simpson and Tam Kellichan, he formed the punk band The Skids. Arguably Scotland's most successful punk outfit, by April the following year the young Fife band had a major record deal and an appearance on Top of the Pops under their belts. 'Into the Valley' explores frontman Jobson's tough upbringing, his memories of the colourful punk scene of the late 1970s and his personal story of triumph over adversity.
