There is the modern world in which you spend so long trying to work out iTunes, that it's easier to form a band and learn the songs. But there is also so much to be delighted with.

Then there is the crazy story of being brought up in a working-class street in Kent, to discover my natural father was a millionaire backgammon player who was best mates with Lord Lucan.
