A story of two lives, of childhood in the Fifties, teenagers in the Sixties, mostly in Nottingham. Then independent living, jobs and flats in swinging London where the streets were paved with chewing gum and opportunity. Miniskirts and kinky boots, flares and winklepickers. The thrills and spills and pitfalls of all that was in those glorious postwar years when everything was possible. Marriage and children. The rise and fall of a golden genius who achieved so much but lost even more to the evils of alcoholism.
