Performing 'Penny Arcade' at the Baloise Session in 2022, one of my favourite songs from 'Dreams That Money Canโt Buy' and to perform live. The song was inspired by the 1975 documentary 'Johnny Go Home' which had an impact on my teenage mind.
Another unseen snap from my archives: photographed with Julie and Marie Muscatelli, also known as The Leather Pets, backstage at The State Ballrooms in Liverpool.
