I Was the King of Spain

Middle son of gypsy witch and a West London car dealer, born into a very well known, close knit, large family from Notting Hill - I was a market trader, tyre fitter, professional musician, artist, entrepreneur, furniture dealer, gilder, property portfolio, professional comedian, model, sports therapist, songwriter, producer, freemason, father. Lifelong mental health sufferer, massive breakdown left me suicidal, in an institution believing I was the King of Spain. Documented are tales from emergency operation to avoid arm amputation after being hit twice by the same car, to a bizarre 25K drug deal involving armed Arabs, Beatles photographer, Bob Freeman and Led Zep frontman, Robert Plant in a Marrakech street market, to sexual encounters with one of Kid Creole's Coconuts after a Pet Shop Boys Hollywood party. Along with Mark Williams, Griff's responsible for a punk/new wave documentary.
