Strap in - Nicko McBrain is finally telling his story, and he's doing it his way. Hello Boys and Girls! is a thrilling, hilarious and deeply personal autobiography from the unstoppable drummer behind Iron Maiden. With trademark humour and heart, Nicko takes readers behind the scenes of one of Britain's biggest ever bands. Nicko joined the band in 1982 after stints with artists like Streetwalker, Pat Travers and Trust. He honed his craft from decades of session work among the highly competitive mean streets and studios of London's Soho. Through his powerful, precise drumming and charismatic stage presence, the long-serving drummer became a metal icon, pivotal in shaping Iron Maiden's dynamic sound.
