"One day in about 1974 my neighbours were surprised to see the whole of Hawkwind pile out of a mini-van and come into my house in a suburban street (on their way to a gig at the Birmingham Odeon). Lemmy was still with them at the time, and his blue jeans were just about to fall apart. my wife Ruth told him to stand still, which he did like a lamb, while she stitched them together!"
