In this opening part of Felix White's abridged memoir about cricket, grief and life in The Maccabees he recalls falling in love with the sport for the first time - a love that was not immediately reciprocated. Felix White is a musician, writer and broadcaster best known as a guitarist in The Maccabees. He subsequently co-founded independent record label Yala! and co-presents the 91¸£ÀûÉç’s Tailenders podcast with Greg James. Here White reads his recollections of growing up, his mother's multiple sclerosis and slowly replacing an ambition to be a left-arm spinner in his school cricket team with the dazzling realities of life in a world-renowned band.
