Evelyn as Author




Good Vibrations: My Autobiography

May 1990

Hutchinson

ISBN: 091743052

Good Vibrations is Evelyn’s Story, in her own words, of how she achieved so much. We follow Evelyn from her simple upbringing on a farm in the North-East of Scotland, through her childhood battles not to be sent to a school for the deaf where her prodigious musical talent would have remained undiscovered, to her extraordinary schoolgirl performances as a remarkable percussionist. A testimony to one woman’s courage and determination to succeed, whatever obstacles life might put in her way, Good Vibrations is a book that resounds with music, hard work and sheer love of life. ‘You have made history’ were the words of the famous percussionist James Blades as rapturous applause greeted Evelyn’s first Prom. She has made history in more ways than one.
