	Alan Goodrick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He filmed (and owns the print of), the Watch The K-Foundation Burn A Million Quid film, drove Bill Drummond and Mark Manning to the top of the world (as recounted in Bad Wisdom), and was the ski-masked person fumbling with lighter fluid and matches when Rachel Whiteread came to claim the K Foundation art award.
		The first time this took place was in 1997 when he was accompanied by Bill Drummond and artist Dave Green.
		Bill says he was born and raised in Manchester (although there are rumours that Gimpo himself says he's from Mold in Wales), and is a 'brother-in-law' to Mark Manning (Zodiac Mindwarp aka Z).

		Drummond's promotional flyers explain: "He made it known that anybody living on this Soup Line was welcome to invite him to their home to make soup for their family and friends.

		Drummond is even coaxed into a first-ever live performance of the KLF's Justified and Ancient, with Kegsy taking the Tammy Wynette role and Euge banging soup vats as drums.

	45 - Bill Drummond
		Drummond would have a great memoir in him -- From the Shores of Lake Placid is a great beginning -- but he only offers dribs and drabs of the KLF days, the Doctorin' the Tardis triumphs, even much of the K Foundation work.
		Drummond's contemporary focus and more incidental pieces -- about purchasing some Stewart Home pieces, interviewing Richard Long, flying on the same plane with Peter Green, Scots nationalism, making soup, his often mundane life -- are also accomplished, a worthwhile and interesting collection in their own right.
		Drummond has found a decent style, and he seems to have more than enough material for further volumes -- if that is the road he wants to take.

	The Edge Books Bill Drummond: 45
		Bill Drummond was up to his eyes in the Liverpool scene of the early 80s.
		Drummond is, he lets us know, a complicated man. Underneath The KLF's self-styled Stadium House lurked hidden agendas, ideas that allowed them to sculpt records like the monumental 'It's Grim Up North' and plot and execute the perfect novelty Number One ('Doctorin' The Tardis').
		Bill Drummond is a national treasure and 45 simply the best - and best written - book by or about a musician since Brian Eno's A Year With Swollen Appendices.

	Peter Knight's Forgiveness
		Kate draped Bill Drummond’s still damp letter over the radiator in her room, placed the beer mat that she had brought with her from the bar on the bed-side table, and she too turned in for the night.
		Drummond was bound to have picked out some ambitious dim-wit, businesslike and probably very efficient at keeping her filofax in good order, but gullible, and no doubt already fallen for some line from Drummond about the future good of the department.
		And if Bill trusted her enough to share with her his vision of the future, and to take her on board as a part of that future, then the least she owed him was her support.

		Drummond was amazed at the combination of tenacity and luck it took to make the discovery, and began to ponder how to make it easier for others to trace the paths of their ancestors who fought in the Civil War.
		Drummond, who came to Tech in 1987-and whose own great-grandfather, David Deaderick, was a Confederate cavalry officer who survived the war-was dismayed at the thought that his son would not be able to show his descendants where their ancestors had fought because of encroaching development.

		It was a fierce battle, for Drummond was a large man and an athlete, but the crowd finally jumped on his ribs, walked on his face, and stamped on his fingers, so that it was only after lying in bed for a week that he was able to get up and look for another job.
		Freddie Drummond accepted the doctrine of evolution because it was quite universally accepted by college men, and he flatly believed that man had climbed up the ladder of life out of the weltering muck and mess of lower and monstrous organic things.
		Bill’s job was in the wash-room, and the men had been called out first, that morning, in order to stiffen the courage of the girls; and Bill chanced to be near the door to the mangle-room when Mary Condon started to enter.

		Bill Drummond is a man of many faces and talents.
		It is the year that Drummond finds himself strangely drawn to the Indian goddess Kali, "the greatest of all female deities." He is invited to go to Calcutta, repeatedly, until it is clear that the goddess has summoned him: karma or destiny, Bill has to go.
		Drummond's success is in his simple straightforward style (strenuously avoiding, as he keeps reminding the reader, descriptive detail) and his proper approach to India.

		Drummond joked that his Scottish Presbyterian upbringing has instilled in him a shame about having, and holding onto, money - but he is obviously preoccupied with the power the green stuff holds over what are now referred to as the creative ‘industries’.
		Drummond is an excellent, if erratic, storyteller, but for the full tale - which spans 35 years - you will have to buy a copy of the book ‘How To Be An Artist’ (on sale tonight for £10 a signed copy, £15 unsigned - yet another comment on the commodification of art).
		For Drummond has carved up his favourite artwork, and the lucky Baltic audience are being offered a 1/20,000th of a Richard Long for the knock-down price of $1 a go.

		After the success of their Timelords single in 1988, Bill Drummond (the lanky one, wearing Martin Bormann's coat in the movie) and Jimmy Cauty (smaller, hairier, and the driver of their car) claimed they were sent a bizarre music contract by a shadowy organisation called "Eternity".
		Drummond and Cauty were apparently upset at the Spanish footage, which was filmed in a wintry November 1988, but some of the visuals are simply stunning.
		There is some (muffled) dialogue as Bill and Jimmy sign the Contract from Eternity, and then some shots of Ford Timelord driving around the Thames Embankment area (to a soundtrack of "3 AM Eternal").

		And Bill Totts liked the girls, and the girls liked him, while Freddie Drummond enjoyed playing the ascetic in this particular, was open in his opposition to equal suffrage and cynically bitter in his secret condemnation of co-education.
		It was Freddie Drummond, irreproachably clothed and comforted, seated at his study desk or facing his class in Sociology 17, who saw Bill Totts and all around Bill Totts, and all around the whole scab and union-labor problem and its relation to the economic welfare of the United States in the struggle for the world-market.

		Alongside Jimmy Cauty, Bill Drummond was better known as the KLF (latterly the K Foundation), and with the arrival of his 45th birthday Drummond decided to compile a collection of his musings on life, music and fame.
		In parts Drummond is deliberately obtuse; anyone hoping for further explanation of why the KLF saw fit to burn a million pounds will be disappointed, but in places the humility and honesty of the book mean that it reads almost as an open journal.
		Drummond’s self-depreciating assessment of his life is endearing and entertaining without sounding like false-modesty.
