WILL HODGKINSON is the author of Guitar Man, Song Man, The Ballad of Britain and The House Is Full Of Yogis. He has written for Mojo, Vogue, the Guardian and Monocle, and as chief rock and pop critic of The Times he enjoys far more time in dives like the Windmill than is fitting for a man of his age. The first gig he went to, aged thirteen, was the Stingrays at the long- gone Clarendon in Hammersmith and his favourite album is Forever Changes by Love.
