Description:

When the producer of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo suddenly fell ill in 1995, there was the possibility that one of the most famous events in the city's calendar might not take place. But, Brigadier Mel Jameson was willing to say 'yes' to fill the post, not conveniently at the last minute, but seven months out, when little had been settled, or even begun.
Needless to say, the 1995 Tattoo was a triumph, and two years later Mel Jameson became its official producer.
Recognising that after the horrors of the Second World War the Edinburgh Tattoo had always been meant to show off the 'scarlet, gold, musical and ceremonial' image of the British Armed Forces, he concluded that his mission must be to find the most interesting and exciting acts and bands from home and from overseas.
This is the story of his decade in that quest - the ups and downs, the pleasures and the pains, the dramas, delights and disappointments; the travel, the people, the sights and sounds.
