Will Hodgkinson spent a year with Lawrence of Felt, Denim and Go-Kart Mozart. Accompanying the luckless would-be superstar as he wandered distant suburbs, got shouted at by the kids at the bus stop, was mistaken for an old lady by an amorous pensioner and dreamed of pop glory, Will went to the heart of Lawrence’s darkness. The result is Street Level Superstar, winner of the 2025 Penderyn Prize music book of the year, and in Lawrence’s own unbiased view, “a masterpiece”.
