Mick Wall knows things about Don Arden and Jimi Hendrix that will make your hair curl

Writer, broadcaster, magazine editor and serial rock biographer, Mick Wall has a few stories up his sleeve. His mum sent him to school in a collarless Beatles suit with the trousers cut into shorts. This captivating trawl includes his early days at Sounds and Kerrang!, coach trips with Motorhead, going through Kate Bush’s record collection, Wings' manager’s attempt to fire Linda McCartney, pop press clichés, writing an Ozzy memoir in three weeks, being offered some “fleetwood mac” by Phil Lynott, Don Arden “drilling lighted cigars” into people’s foreheads and compelling reasons why Hendrix might have been murdered. Mick’s done that thing that so many threaten to do but rarely have the nerve: he’s got rid of all his physical music and gone entirely digital – with joyous consequences. And he can tell you the Greatest Record Ever Made.
