John Row has been a professional artist, writer, performer for sixty years.He's been everywhere, man, studying at art school with a teenage Brian Eno; in at the early days of Rock Against Racism; touring with punk and reggae bands, hip hop artists and, more recently, in his mid-seventies and during Covid lockdown, curating the worldstorytellingcafe.com website and directing the Marrakech International Storytelling Festival once the borders were reopened.

Dive into a collision of memories, anecdotes and thoughts drawn from six decades of being at the cutting edge of street poets and alternative lifestyles, giving voice to the unheard and celebrating life in all its diversions and diversities.
