The Jumble Shop would be one place where we'd sometimes accumulate down in the Village. I think it might be just a place that's unknown that was right around the corner from wherever it was that we met.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I saw the Village as a place you could escape to, to express yourself. When I first went there, I wrote and performed poetry. Then I drew portraits for a couple of years. It took a while before I thought about picking up a guitar.
I was born and I live in a small village, where the centre of life is the square, and the small bar/cafe.
L.A. malls are so different than a 'mall' mall like we probably all grew up with that had a food court and the sword shop, the yo-yo kiosk.
I live in a cottage and volunteer in the village shop.
My first proper kitchen was this funny little club that we set up in Mercer Street in Covent Garden. It got shut down. Then I worked at a club in Notting Hill.
I am a village boy, and Amsterdam for me was always the big town.
There are so many great, great vintage clothes to find; there's a whole territory unexplored there.
It seemed sensible to move to a market town where I could walk everywhere.
I wish it was possible to do the work and not have to talk about it, but it is traditional in the theater to go into the village square and bang the drum and say, 'Come see this show, come see this show.'
The town I came from really had one industry, and that was furniture.
