Details
A Welsh valleys boy learns about love, magic and madness in the dying light of the 1960s.
Any celebrity autobiography should have its fill of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll; this volume is no disappointment. It also has a liberal sprinkling of alcohol abuse and casual violence. These elements feature highly in Boyd Clack’s early life; his struggle has been to prioritise their importance to allow him to live his passions. From an upbringing hounded by despair to sexual experimentation with a religious cult in Australia to the formation of The Lemmings in Amsterdam; this brutally honest memoir charts his errant wanderings prior to his illustrious show-biz career.
"The best thing I’ve read in ages and the best memoir about growing up Welsh and male ever."
Lewis Davies
