Boyzone: Our Story. A book by Joe Jackson

This is a book I wrote in 1995, Boyzone Our Story, which is described on its cover as ‘The only official Boyzone book with exclusive, never-before-seen photographs, many of which I took.

Blurb says ‘Little more than a year ago Shane, Ronan, Mike, Keith, and Stephen were five ambitious working class lads from Dublin’s northside. Now they are Boyzone, Ireland’s first pop group poised on the edge of international stardom. Voted the best newcomers by Smash Hits magazine, their first two singles – Working My Way Back To You and Love Me For A Reason – reached the top of the UK and Irish charts
In Boyzone: Our Story the boys tell their own stories to Irish photo-journalist Joe Jackson, who has had a unique working relationship with the band since it was formed. Here they speak intimately about their families, love lives, reaction to stardom and hopes for the future.
Containing exclusive photographs of the boys from childhood through to superstardom, many of which were taken specifically for this book by Joe Jackson, Boyzone: Our Story is the only official book about the band; the only book that tells their story in detail, in depth, and in their own words. It is the book no fan can afford to be without.

Days of innocence, indeed, relatively speaking.
