A Musical Memoir from the Margins This memoir takes readers on a journey through the author's life in London's Squat Land in the years leading up to the Punk Explosion of '76. With a unique perspective on the early days of the genre, the book chronicles the author's experiences playing with Strummer's garage band "The 101'ers" in the city's music bars.

The book is a candid account of the author's experiences in the underground London music scene, marked by both creative highs and personal struggles. The narrative is complemented by illustrations by the author's partner, Esperanza Romero, which capture the spirit of the era. Through this memoir, the author shares a fascinating glimpse into the formative years of British punk rock, offering a fresh perspective on the genre's early days.
