'During downtime on the pottery throwdown Keith made my hair curl with some of his tales - he's a great raconteur and recounts his story in this book as he does in real life - with joy， charm & mischief。' - Sara Cox

Ballet dancer。 Front man in an almost famous band。 Judge on The Great Pottery Throwdown。 How did all that happen？
By accident mostly。 But I always say we make our own luck。 What if an art teacher hadn't given me a lump of clay？ What if the band had been really successful？ What if I hadn't taken a photograph of a bowl to the buyer at Heals in London？ What if she'd hated it？ Or hadn't seen it。。。 What if I hadn't agreed to dress up as Adele to make a crazy YouTube video？
Every chapter of my book is based around an object （usually a pot） that's been significant in my life。 It's just at trigger to let me go off in a lot of different directions and tell a few stories。 A lot of stories。 Dyslexia。 The art teacher who changed my life。 My Mother。 My Father。 A life-changing job interview with a man who lay under his car throughout。 That video。
Sifting through half-forgotten memories， trying to pick out the golden nuggets from the stuff that is definitely dross has been a curious， and at times hilarious， sometimes sad， but definitely enlightening process。 So here it is - my pottery life with some very loud music and some pretty good dancing。 And a lot of throwing， fettling and firing。
Oh 。。。and a good dose of anxiety。
