Keira Rathbone is an artist with a unique talent. Her works involve using a typewriter as a drawing instrument, a discipline that has evolved over a ten year period, creating work that is stunninghly complex as well as being beautiful and absorbing.

In a sodden tent at a '70s festival, the teenage Mark Ellen had a dream. He dreamt that music was a rich meadow of possibility, a liberating leap to a sparkling future, an industry of human happiness - and he wanted to be part of it. Thus began his 50-year love affair with rock and roll. From his time at the NME and Smash Hits to Radio One, Old Grey Whistle Test, Live Aid, Q, Select, Mojo and The Word magazines, he's been at the听core of its evolution, and watched its key figures from a unique perspective. This personal memoir maps out his eventful journey, it tells stories and settles scores. It charts the peaks and disappointments. It flags up surprising heroes and barbecues the dull and self-deluded.

Art is full of bad characters, in fact, bad characters make good artists. Jeremy's all-time favourite painter, Caravaggio was a violent man who was always getting into fights. Philip Larkin, the poet was pretty unsavoury, but people still read his poems. So why do we decide we don't want art made by bad people?
