Forty-year-old Vince Smith bids his father a fond farewell and casts his ashes to the wind.
Through the heat haze shimmer of memory, he recalls a momentous few months in 1977, when he abandoned disco for punk, met the love of his life and, most bizarrely, watched his mild-mannered dad display an alarming ability to read minds, levitate small objects and generally - if unwittingly - wreak homicidal havoc.
'Whatever Happened To Harold Smith?' is a story of love, death, tortoises and lots of other little bits.
