We return with part 2 of a wonderful personal journey through the English Underground scene of the 1960s and 1970s led by musician and pied piper Nick Laird Clowes of The Dream Academy.

We hear about meeting Iggy Pop in the toilet, Nick Drake’s guitar, the demise of Syd Barrett and dinner with Andy Warhol amongst many other terrific tales of the living the counterculture.
