For the last 50 years, Clive James has been writing remarkable songs - witty, moving, sometimes satirical, often thrillingly poetic - with his musical partner, Pete Atkin. They've written more than 200 together, releasing the first album of their work in 1970 and the last in 2015. John Peel loved them. So did Kenny Everett. Stephen Fry is a huge fan. And Clive himself believes these songs are the best things he's ever done. Loose Canon explores the sparkling lyrics and brilliantly memorable tunes that have won Clive and Pete a fanatical cult following but still managed to remain the British music industry's best-kept secret. Stephen Fry has written an incredibly generous and enthusiastic foreword.

Who the hell (you think, as you sit there in some huge hangar, peering into the distance) are those ants on the stage? Ever bumped into a celeb and said something that made you sound like a prat? Ever found yourself stuck at a red light in a battered old car with ten of your mates, chased by four angry skinheads?

What is the point of reading about the music written before 1600? There are two good reasons. First, much of it is very beautiful and most enjoyable.

Second, during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, European musicians, theorists and craftsmen laid the technical foundations for their successors, the foundations of the classical music that is enjoyed across the world today.
