Until now the only true record we had of this amazing time was the music, the photos and our memories. Jeremy Reed's Orange Sunshine has succeeded in imaginatively recreating the times, and as such is an educative marvel. He's very brave and honest, deeply talented and he takes you there... a true keeper of the flame.” Andrew Loog Oldham

A recreation of the shape–shifting extravaganza of the 1960s in the form of an epic verse-documentary. Orange Sunshine is a dynamic series of mini-biographies of the period’s major stars, cult icons and leaders of fashion.

“Reed's poetry is full of rich and careful writing, dense with pleasure.” Seamus Heaney

“The most beautiful gorgeous outrageously brilliant poetry in the universe.” Bjork

“Orange Sunshine is a worthy successor to Vikram Seth’s The Golden Gate - only it rocks!”
