          As Joyce Morgan points out in her spirited and incisive biography of Martin Sharp, “biography does not take shape without great generosity, surprising encounters, memorable conversations and a dash of good luck”.

          She might have added ‘‘coincidence’’.

          As a teenage fan of Bob Dylan, Morgan left Liverpool with her family for Sydney in 1968 carrying a magazine clipping of Mr Tambourine Man, a psychedelic poster of Dylan designed by an artist of whom she had never heard.

          Two years earlier, that same artist, Martin Sharp, had travelled in the opposite direction, arriving in London as the music, art and fashion scenes exploded.

          He became lifelong friends with Eric Clapton and he took his first LSD trip watching Pink Floyd perform at the UFO Club.
