Description

For over thirty years, Saxon has been led from the front by charismatic and larger-than-life vocalist Biff Byford. In 'Never Surrender', he tells his story for the first time, from his working class childhood as a terribly shy schoolboy in Yorkshire through the mega-days of the early Eighties to the bands Twenty-First Century rise to fame once more. Sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, but always brutally honest, 'Never Surrender' lifts the lid on the myths surrounding Saxon, as well as revealing the hard work and heartaches it takes to make it to the top and stay there.
