About the Book

This book by Chris Needs tells us so much more about his life than his previous books: Like it is and And there's more. Chris delves into those experiences in his life which have kept him alive and, on the other hand, those episodes which have nearly killed him. There are also new photographs, previously undiscovered, and would be of interest to his legions of fans.

About the Author :
Chris Needs is a very well-known Welsh broadcaster. He was born in Cwmafan in 1954. He hosts 'The Friendly Garden Programme' on Radio Wales between 11 p.m.-1.a.m. each weekday night.

Review :
Chris Needss books are written from the heart, in the modern idiom of transparency, and perhaps this one even more so than the others. When he was writing this chapter of his life (20112013), Needs was suffering extreme physical pain and at times considerable mental anxiety as well. He writes of his disillusionment with Wales. He feels that he and his partner Gabe are victimised for being homosexual. Believe you me, its a hard thing to be a well-known gay in Wales. It is in Spain that he feels totally at home and where he wants to spend his retirement; indeed he has asked Gabe to scatter his ashes there, if he should die first. However, this is not an endless tale of woe. As in his previous books, Needs weaves in reminiscences and humorous insights into numerous scenarios from his past that serve to lighten the tone. On 13 March 2013 at the City Hall in Cardiff, Needs and Gabe tied the marital knot, after a relationship spanning more than twenty years. It is Gabe who has written the foreword and the conclusion of the book. There is no doubt that Needs is depressed by the homophobic treatment he receives from his compatriots, but, having read Highs and Lows, I believe that, if Needs were to leave Wales for good, he would miss the people, his In the Garden BBC radio show, and certainly the Grand Theatre, Swansea. And the folk of Wales would miss him too, not only for his BBC slot but also for his extensive charity work not just fundraising but in there at the grass roots, visiting the sick and terminally ill. This is a read not just for Needss devoted fans but for all those who have a social conscience.
