Something Wasted This Way Comes / December 1 2006
I bumped into my dear friend Nelson Galaxy in London at lunchtime today. He informed me that he is about to go into the studio to record an album of live acoustic numbers. Hurrah! Say I.
I was privileged to be present when he played some of his magnificent creations at a venue in the East End in August. His performance truly was mesmerising.
So look out for his album in the New Year – it’s going to be stunning. He says it will be ‘Nelson Galaxy stripped down and laid bare, raw and unpredictable.’ We all know that it will also be, of course, spectacularly glamorous.
I must say though, to my eyes, the dashing young buck is looking rather lean and wasted these days. Perhaps it’s the drugs. So many drugs…
I’m afraid it didn’t help when I invited him to spend an hour or two with me in the Candy Bar in Soho. We intended to eat lunch though I’m afraid to say we were only able to avail ourselves of several large, crystal vessels of the finest Courvoisier and afterwards, Nelson’s favourite snifter, Absinthe.
The afternoon reminded me rather tenderly of the precarious night we spent in Paris last year when I eventually found Nelson on the Champs-Elysées at 4am, unaccompanied and unclothed and kissing a horse.
Plus ca change…

I know that horse. He asked to pass on a message … ‘no tongues next time Nelson!’ x
