'Lighting Out for the Territory'

Exclusive interview with Aidan Dun talking about his 1973 arrival in Mysterious King's Cross and his discovery of the fourth century Constantinian Church which inspired his critically acclaimed epic poem 'Vale Royal'. Shot in the self same location that would later become the focus of a chapter in Ian Sinclair's 'Lights Out for the Territory', the interview you see here was shot in 1992, four years or more before the appearance of the original Goldmark Publishing edition of Sinclair's now semi-legendary literary perambulation around the psychogeographic highways and byways of his own best frequented parts of the British Capital. Taken from Rupert Ferguson's film 'Strange Myths of King's Cross', this exclusive and candid interview documents the poets original rise from rags to rags before the literary success and critical acclaim by the likes of Ackroyd, Ginsberg, Morcock and others.
