The Writings of Alan Mann
Alan has contributed articles to a number of fanzines and rock 'n roll magazines over the years and has written a number of books since leaving work.
In 1994 he brought out the first edition of the A to Z of Buddy Holly, self publishing this as "The Sound of Tex-Mex." Two years later a revised edition of the A to Z was publiched by Aurum Books of London. This was a revised and re-written edition to tie in with the singer's 60th birthday.
2002 saw the publication of "Elvis and Buddy - Linked Lives" which was published by Music Mentor Books.
The following year Alan contributed articles for the history of Little Melton under the title of "Little Melton - The Story of a Norfolk Village." Alan was one of a number of local historians to take part in this project.
2009 saw the publication of "The A to Z of Buddy Holly and the Crickets" which was published by Music Mentor Books and released to publicise the 50th anniversary of the singer's death. This time the book was expanded to include items on Holly's backing group, The Crickets.
Alan is currently working on "The Teacher - The Story of Tony Sheridan."
