"The Underground has always had its poets and prophets. Now it has found its Boswell."
Atticus in the Sunday Times.

The Boswell is Hendrix hair-styled Jenny Fabian, herself a ‘Groupie’. Her Johnson is nineteen-year-old Katie, the heroine of the story. ‘Groupies’ are the girls who follow the pop groups and who, in their own words, are out to ‘pull’ them. They’ve been around ever since The Beatles first played at the Cavern -but it’s only lately that their exploits have been taken up by the national press.

Katie launches the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the ever changing fairround of the pop scene. And on the way she introduces him to a whole host of characters the like of whom he’ll never have met before:

Davey - ‘his girlish fair hair and skinny arms really turn me on.’
Pat - ‘I’m not against the occasional plate.’
Roxanna - ‘So you only sleep with guys?’
Reginald - ‘He murmured fond words and called me darling.’
Theo, the writer who needs ‘speed’ to work.
And Larry, the American, who is taken to hospital believing he is Bob Dylan.

GROUPIE is not just about pop groups and their fans. It’s about the whole Underground scene- from The Big Tower to the Other Kingdom, from boutiques to groovy art galleries, from macrobiotic restaurants to pot and ‘tincture’. And it’s a social commentary of the most vivid kind.
