'Not a Lot of Work' is a prequel to 'Nothing Like Work' and 'A Bit More Like Work'. It tells of the author's early life in Greenock, his education there, his student days at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and a short period of teacher training at Jordanhill College of Education. This was followed by four years of school teaching which in turn was followed by two further periods as a full-time student, first of all at Glasgow University and then at Birmingham University, before his seven years with the world-famous D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from 1975 to 1982.

Autorenporträt
David Mackie was born in Greenock and educated at Greenock Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Glasgow University and Birmingham University. He joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1975 and was chorus master and associate conductor from 1976-1982, conducting over 500 performances of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. On the Company's closure he became a free-lance accompanist and conductor. With former members of D'Oyly Carte he undertook many tours of North America with The Best of Gilbert and Sullivan; in collaboration with Sir Charles Mackerras he reconstructed Arthur Sullivan's lost cello concerto. Further research into Sullivan's life and work resulted in his book Arthur Sullivan and The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain, and he has also researched the life and work of the Victorian composer Gerard Francis Cobb. He has been musical director for many operettas and musicals, pantomime, music hall and variety; he has also worked for the BBC, Grim's Dyke Opera Company, and Music in Hospitals and Care.
