When teenage guitar prodigy Keith Gear shares a stage with Jimi
Hendrix in mid 60s Soho he forms a bond with his hero and embarks
on a journey that will take him a long way from his South London
roots. Reluctantly thrust into the spotlight with his band
Dominion, he plays the fame game briefly and finds it wanting. With
Jimi he enjoys acid trips in London, jam sessions in New York and
reflective evenings in Morocco. In the decades that follow he
experiences cult fame as a solo artist and sees a close friend
become an unlikely star on the alternative comedy scene. By the
1990s a psychopathic celebrity killer is on the loose and the
ageing and battle-worn Gear is largely forgotten. In the midst of
all this a chance encounter at the Avalonia festival opens up
unexpected pathways for Gear's future. With dark humour Rob Chapman
creates an elaborate mosaic that gradually reveals the outsiders
and uncompromising spirits who roam the fringes of popular culture.
