AFTER interviewing hundreds of people over the past three years, the authors of a 222-page book on Penang’s popular music finally launched it to the delight of music lovers.

Penned by local bassist and guitarist Paul Augustin with co-author James Lochhead, the book is titled ‘Just For The Love Of It - Penang’s Popular Music 1930s - 1960s’.
