Description

The incredible true story of a farmer’s daughter from Wiltshire who became rock'n'roll’s first female Tour Manager, working with the Rolling Stones, The Who, Peter Gabriel, Mike Oldfield and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

While Sally Arnold’s story reads like a Hollywood biopic, things began rather quietly: she was raised on a farm in Wiltshire and trained as a Norland Nurse. However, when she landed a job as nanny to Mick and Bianca Jagger’s daughter, Sally’s life changed forever. From living with the Jaggers, she would go on to work for the Rolling Stones, The Who, Peter Gabriel, Mike Oldfield and Lynyrd Skynyrd, becoming the first female Tour Manager in the rock business. It was a heady, glamourous time, but one also tainted by misfortune. Sally was engaged to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Stage Manager when the band’s plane crashed in 1977, tragically killing her fiancé and several of her friends.

Sally’s fascinating memoir lifts the lid on these intoxicating and often turbulent times. Her deeply personal story reveals the truth of an era filled with icons, music, drugs and sex. As a trailblazer for women in the music industry, not only has she known many of rock'n'roll’s biggest names personally, socialised with royalty and rubbed shoulders with members of state, but she has also lived and influenced a cultural zenith. Rock N Roll Nanny contains exclusive photographs and insights into the life of this remarkable woman, who made it in a man’s world against the odds.
