'What a brilliant book. Keith is so charming and funny and my goodness what a hard worker. I loved it.
- enjoy.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was enlightening and entertaining,
. And of course with Keith, there's always going to be tears.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Really
A great read.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ballet dancer. Front man in an almost famous band. Judge on
. How did all that happen?
'By accident mostly. But I always say we make our own luck. What if an art teacher hadn't given me a lump of clay? What if my band had properly taken off? What if I hadn't taken a photograph of a bowl to the buyer at Heals in London? What if she'd hated it? Or hadn't seen it...
Every chapter of my book is based around an object (usually a pot) that's been significant in my life. It's just a trigger to let me go off in a lot of different directions and tell a few stories. A lot of stories. Dyslexia. The art teacher who changed my life. My Mother. My Father. A life-changing job interview with a man who lay under his car throughout. *That* video. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, a quick search of 'Keith Brymer Jones Adele' should do it.)'
The end product? A warming, clever memoir of Keith's pottery life with some very loud music, some pretty good dancing, and a lot of throwing, fettling and firing. Oh ... and a good dose of anxiety.
