"Denmark Street, nickname "Tin Pan Alley" saw Regent Sounds Studio start up at 4 Denmark Street in 1963 and the Rolling Stones recorded their first album here, the studio had Hendrix recording in the 60's to Stevie Wonder in 1974, my final year at St. Martins, and, amazingly, I still visited it in that year, when it became the specialist Science Fiction and Comics bookshop "Forbidden Planet" (after the film of the same name) and before too long my own artistic output, in the form of Science Fiction Book covers, was seen in this hallowed place . . . . . . ."
David Bowie, Bob Marley, Lou Reed, Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, Andy Kershaw, Eric Clapton, The Sex Pistols, the list is almost endless. 
"When my friends and I jammed on Gibson SG's in this street in the mid to late 60's I had no idea my Artwork would one day end up in a shop on this very spot. Likewise, when I started my own publishing company in the early 90's I never thought for one moment I'd paint a picture of it. I was visiting London, on a trip down from my Rural Countryside studio, picking up some specialist Art materials, and I could not resist an amble down this street, again, for old times sake.
"Next time I visit I may well just pop-in and buy a packet of Fender Rock n' Roll gittar strings (super light guage) just for old time's sake . . . . . . ."
