> Works - Dial M For Merthyr

Dial M For Merthyr Cover Having grown up listening to the rock stars of the 1980s and harbouring an ambition to write a warts 'n' all rockumentary, Trezise discovered Midasuno, a gaggle of Merthyr kids with a ton of conviction and a penchant for neck breaking guitar riffs in a Rhondda pub.

She booked a seat on the tour bus they called Black Betty and tracked the band as they razed the British toilet circuit.

Reviews

"Trezise does little to mask her adoration of Midasuno. None of this detracts from the story, however, which is told in marvellously eloquent observational prose. Communicated in a first person, semi-autobiographical style by the author, it's a tale full of charm and humour, but one that, inevitably, deals with how shite and unglamorous life can be for rocks stars who tour in their time off and are tour managed by the drummer's dad. But tales of rich, bloated, egotistical rockers slowly killing themselves aren't necessarily any more entertaining than the gritty truth about a bunch of kids from a down-trodden town in south Wales daring to dream. Or they're certainly not in this instance."
Rock Sound

"A mesmerising and intense read."
Buzz

"Trezise writes with an irresistible self-indulgence – the same complete command of the English language as the heavyweights of contemporary fiction."
