Ballet dancer. Front man in an almost famous band. Judge on The Great Pottery Throw Down. 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 my band had properly taken off? 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...

Every chapter of my book is based around an object (usually a pot) that''s been significant in my life. It''s just a 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. (If you don''t know what I''m talking about, a quick search of ''Keith Brymer Jones Adele'' should do it.)''

The end product? A warming, clever memoir of Keith''s pottery life with some very loud music, some pretty good dancing, and a lot of throwing, fettling and firing. Oh ... and a good dose of anxiety.
