PLATES 1
My grandmother showing off the hurdle she made in woodwork!
Father showing his RAF-ness.
Wedding of adored parents.
left to right: unknown; my Uncle Colin; Vic; my Mum; my Gran; unknown; my Auntie Joyce. An optimistic group!!
Even then! Me and cousin Caroline whose only appearance in the book this is!
My mother explaining to me that I am a month premature and be glad I wasn’t an Aquarius.
I saw ya! Note withered right arm!
Age 4½ Who needs teeth anyway? Ok, Gummy!
Me and Flicka
‘Monarch of the Glen’ – this is me on Goldie when I worked at Hewitt’s Riding School at Benlech on Anglesey, where we pulled the Girl Guides! Goldie had his own plans for the evening.
Me and my mate Krystof with our horses.
Simon House, Dave Brock, self, Nik Turner and Simon King: Hawkwind. We were probably trying to levitate or something.
Rehearsal for unlimited Whoopee – 1971. This is the picture they put on the front of the NME to advertise the Space Ritual Tour – without any of the others. I’d been in the band ten months! Ho Ho!
Paul, my son, aged 5 – he could already play better than me!
Paul and his wife Uma. Attractive couple, eh?
PLATES 2
Motorcycle Irene, Philthy Animal and me. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the other girl – she will now hunt me down and kill me.
We don’t need no ‘steenkeeng batches’!
What an unfortunate pose!
Phil Campbell, falling backwards, is saved by his gallant bass-playing comrade.
Just like that!
Jesus, were any of us ever that skinny?
God bless you, my child. Even though you’re an asshole!
I love this picture. Macho in extremis!
Say what?
The best picture any of us will probably ever get of ourselves. The reason is a secret.
10th Anniversary.
left to right: Wurzel, Lucas Fox, Pete Gill, Brian Robertson, Phil Campbell, Phil Taylor – back row me and Barry Wallis – I think Phil just elbowed me in the balls!
Lemmy with starfish caught while scuba diving.
And on the seventh day – FIRE! FIRE!
