Description
In 1979 Inner City Unit, the anarcho-punk band founded by legendary ex-Hawkwind sax player Nik Turner, supported Sham 69 on their UK tour. I played bass with ICU on this tour.
35 years later, I published a novel called Cities of Refuge. In it, a band called The Vikings caper around the country and get mixed up in all kinds of weird science, inept espionage and generally duplicitous behaviour. The band’s leader – Jake – is a sax-playing front man bearing a striking, and by no means accidental, resemblance to Nik Turner. Quite a few ideas in the novel came from my time on tour with ICU.
I was already becoming occupied with writing when I did this tour, so I decided to keep a journal about the tour and our experiences; luckily, Nik also loaned me his camera and I took some snaps, and managed not to lose them. (They aren’t very good, I’m afraid – but in many ways the picture quality seems to match the mood and ethos of the tour). I wrote a little book about the tour, got it typed up, then stuck it in a drawer for 35 years...
…and 35 years later, I’ve scanned in the text and photos and published this tale as a supplement to Cities of Refuge. It’s free: I decided I should contribute this by way of thanks to Nik and the lads, in keeping with the spirit of Inner City Unit.
And the book is dedicated to ICU guitarist Trevor Thoms, who sadly passed away in 2010. Never rest in peace Trev – it’s just not like you.
