One unremarkable Saturday morning Clive sees the biggest alternative-pop star of them all walking down the high street with his dry-cleaning: Lance Webster, disgraced ex-singer of Thieving Magpies ('the biggest British band to emerge from the late-eighties indie-boom' Rolling Stone).
Clive hatches a ramshackle plan to befriend his idol and grab the scoop of a lifetime - why did Webster burn out?
