Music does things like that to me. I went to the old 1950s set of encyclopaedias we had in the house and looked up this fella Lawrence. He has rather haunted me ever since. I am very glad to have got The Melt written and I hope that were he to read it he would be suitably dismissive of its literary failings and enjoyably intrigued by the life I set out for him.
Oh, me? I don’t really want to write about myself here. I’m not shy. I’m too modest to think I have anything to be modest about and too arrogant to care that that was a horrible line. As was that.
From Crewe, so some railway time under my belt. Left that and became a busker. Left that and went to Dartington College of Arts. Always had to work to eat. Still do.
