By age 15, in the mid-1960s, he’d left his Lancashire home and was gigging in Hamburg, then with the London bands Pacific Drift and Blodwyn Pig (with Jethro Tull’s Mick Abrahams). Once he started writing his own songs, he came to the attention of Marianne Faithfull, with whom he’s since had many years of fruitful collaborations. He’s had a similar relationship with Grace Jones, with whom he’s currently working. He shares some fascinating stories about his life and career with PKM’s Valerie Simadis.
