Leading the famous 144 mass squat, dropping acid with RD Laing, being threatened by Michael X, working at Centrepoint, hanging round Middle Earth, setting up Street Aid…Phil Cohen (sometimes known as Dr John) was a key activist in the counterculture, before going straight and becoming an academic. In this talk he revists these exciting times. His best known book is Knuckle Sandwich: growing up in the working class city (with Dave Robins).
Tickets: free but please book in advance.
