LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

1. My family circa 1966: at the back, Jimmy, Bobby, me, and in front, Mum and Dad holding baby Martin. That’s in the old flat in Benwell Road. I
know it by the couch, it was one of them vinyl things, intensely uncomfortable.

2. Aged 3 or 4, at the fair on Hampstead Heath. I’m the happiest ever to be in that sky-blue Austin Healey.

3. In my little tartan waistcoat, in front of Dad’s car. I think this was on one of our family seaside jaunts to Southend or Canvey Island.
We’d always spend hours in a lay-by, repairing bits of the car.

4. With Mum in Highbury Fields, wearing my Mum’s handbag: ‘Hold that while I fix your belt.’

5. Progression! Early school days, aged 6 or 7, pre-meningitis, working out a jigsaw.

6. At 11 or 12, I had to wear glasses after meningitis.

7. Circa 1972, aged 16, 17 in my Roundhouse phase.

8. With John Gray in Finsbury Park playpark, just prior to the Sex Pistols, when I was working at the play centres, looking after problem kids.
John’s wearing a Vivienne Westwood top, made of black shiny latex. If you’ve got it, flaunt it!
