Arthur Brown: The Original Torch Singer

Tom Hibbert, Q, September 1993

It's not the most promising of CVs – "God of Hellfire; sets hair alight; slightly bonkers" – but for a few short years it did Arthur Brown proud. Since then, he tells Tom Hibbert, it's been musical housepainting and Satanically abused teenage girls all the way.

Total word count of piece: 1882
