Angel Pavement

Product Information

He has just arrived in London on a Baltic cargo ship with a display case full of veneer samples and the sole UK agency for a new product, and he is looking to persuade some gullible fool that together they are set to make a fortune. He was keen to ensure that this was not another light and romantic slice of fiction, and it is much more serious and darker than its predecessor.

When he entered the office he did not dwindle, he grew; (in the office) he was more himself than he was in the street outside…he had a gratitude, a zest, and eagerness that couldn’t be found in the others (his colleagues)…. g. Pete Stringfellow, who at that time was based in Wakefield and the gigs on offer were increasingly becoming nightclubs – he even tried to persuade them to take a booking at Batley Variety Club! This begins much as all London novels do-- in the swirl of life being lived, the just-manageable chaos driven by commerce and urbanism unbound-- and somehow manages to narrow down to separate characters by the early chapters. All these argue robustly and persuasively in favour of a work whose merits have stood the test of time.If you like this, try "Patrick", also by Quentin Blake, which has the same magical feel, and "Gregory and the Magic Line" by Piggot which has the same magic-pen kind of theme. Early 1970 saw the release of ‘Tell Me What I’ve Got To Do’ (Beckerman) b/w ‘When Will I See June Again’ (Shepherd) but it fared little better than the previous release. None of the band were real lovers of soul music and Alfie in particular was keen to assemble a group performing harmony-based West Coast sounds with heavy Zombies/Hollies/Beatles influences.

It’s difficult to close the book without a sense of sadness - you want to know what happened to these people whose lives were left close to ruin. Sid is sad because he wants to take part in the big drawing competition but can’t work out how the judges will ever get to see his work. He taught illustration for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art, of which he is an honorary professor. A furious Alfie refused to sign the publishing documents for Morgan (he still possesses the unsigned papers) and it was the beginning of the end for the group’s relationship with Geoff Gill.There is something ‘faintly piratical’ about Golspie, but he gains the confidence of the gullible Dersingham.
