Even in ordinary times, it would be hard to read about Richard and Isabel Burton without catching a serious case of wanderlust. In the midst of England’s third national lockdown, however, and a bleak winter to boot, descriptions of the Victorian couple’s moonlit strolls through the botanical gardens of Rio, or nights under canvas in the Syrian desert, proved too much for this north Londoner.
A Rage to Live, the title of Mary S. Lovell’s biography of the pair, perfectly summed up my state of mind after months of enforced hibernation, and I decided to throw caution to the wind, with the Burtons as inspiration: I would live; I would explore; I would travel – all the way to that foreign land, south London.

There is some archival footage, made for Danish TV in 1968, of Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulos, popular music’s only Greek-Irish pairing of astral-baroque crusaders, collaborating together very naturally on piano and autoharp in Alex’s fourth floor flat on Elsham Road near Holland Park. It is an evocative piece of film, finding the pair at ease, and complementing one another’s strengths as musicians and songwriters. But within 12 months of the film’s making, Nirvana had been unceremoniously dumped by record label Island before delivering the final chapter of a three-album deal. The subsequent reversal of fortune, if not quite analogous to a corpulent prince being ejected from an ostentatious banquet and forced to squat in a Bruce Robinson-like hovel of damp walls, blackened fingernails and empty fridges, nevertheless must have felt like such at close quarters.

Camels, caravans, wanderings in the desert, the mysteries of the Hajj, a raid on a harem guarded by eunuchs and leopards, a lost manuscript and widow burning books, spies and love and death there are enough sweeping scenes and riverbend plot twists in “The Mirrored Palace” for a Hollywood screenwriter.
