About the book

Clive Palmer, a beatnik banjo player who began playing skiffle, jazz and folk in 1950s London, honed his skills by busking in Paris before moving to Scotland - influencing the young Billy Connolly, among others - and co-founding the legendary Incredible String Band. Leaving them after their first album in 1966 to hitchhike to Afghanistan, he had many adventures and the occasional brush with the law. Clive is still playing and releasing albums to this day - a bona fide musical treasure.
