From the small town of Kenfig in South Wales to Oxford University, Germany, London, Ireland, Pakistan, Amsterdam, Thailand, Ibiza, Majorca, Manila, America and jail we follow Howard’s prodigious rise.  And fall.  This is the frequently hilarious, occasionally sad, and often surreal story of Howard’s life so far.
