Ben Cardew and Johann Wald fulfilled a dream by speaking to Lawrence, of Felt, Denim and, now, Mozart Estate, when he was in Barcelona for an event celebrating Street Level Superstar, Will Hodgkinson’s genius book about the enigmatic star. They spoke about everything from Bowie to Cilla Black, fame to failure, as well as Mozart Estate’s new album Tower Block In A Jam Jar, in a wide-ranging 40-minute interview that leaves no doubt about Lawrence’s absolute star quality.
