JOSH Barry, who was lucky to have survived after being born at St Mary's Hospital with athetoid cerebral palsy, has just had his second book published.

The Yearbook, the follow-up to his autobiography Adapted, features his love for the world of entertainment and, in particular, many of his interviews with showbusiness legends, both on and off screen.

Thanks to a caring support team, Josh has interviewed many fascinating people from Jimmy Tarbuck to Chris Tarrant and Dame Esther Rantzen.

 

Josh meticulously prepares all his questions and they are voiced to his interviewees by one of his team.

His genuine love for the light entertainment business has led to personal friendships with famous comedians, scriptwriters, producers, directors and musicians.

Many of these are featured via chapters in this well-devised publication.

Barry Cryer is a great admirer of Josh and his work and has written a wonderful foreword.

There are also personal quotes from Larry Lamb and Alistair Stewart. There are chapters on Melvyn Hayes, Miles Jupp, Island-born Phill Jupitus, Brian Conley, Ben Elton and many others.

Many are astounded by his knowledge of events that happened long before he was born. He thrives on delving into the past decades of the entertainment business.

Josh has a website called Beyond The Title and in 2016 he produced a CD called Following The Money, which traced the story of the British theatrical agent and included contributions from many showbusiness legends.

The Yearbook is published by The Book Reality Experience and is available through bookshops and online. There is also a kindle version.
