After being introduced to her son David and his wife Angie\, Suzi finds herself at the Bowies’ bohemian apartment and is soon embroiled in their raucous world. \nHaving crafted his iconic Ziggy Stardust hairstyle\, Suzi becomes the only working woman in David’s touring party and joins the Spiders from Mars as they perform around the globe. Amid the costume blunders\, parties and groupies she meets her husband-to-be\, Mick Ronson\, and together they traverse the absurdities of life in show business\, falling in with the likes of Iggy Pop\, Bob Dylan and Lou Reed along the way. \nDazzling and intimate\, Me and Mr Jones provides not only a unique perspective on one of the most beguiling stars of our time but also a world on the cusp of cultural transformation\, charting the highs and lows of life as one of the only women in the room as it happened. \nAbout the author \nSuzi Ronson is an author\, songwriter\, and former hairdresser and stylist. At fifteen\, she enrolled in the Evelyn Paget College of Hair and Beauty\, going on to become David Bowie’s stylist after helping create his iconic Ziggy Stardust hairstyle. She travelled the world with Bowie as his hairdresser\, stylist\, and confidante. Ronson has also worked with Lou Reed\, Iggy Pop\, and John Mellencamp. She divides her time between London and New York. \n \nAbout John Robb \nJohn Robb is a many-faceted creature. \nNot just a well known face from TV but also a best selling author\, musician\, journalist\,  presenter and pundit\, music website boss\, publisher\, festival boss\, Eco warrior and vegan behemoth and talking head singer from post-punk mainstays The Membranes. \n\nJohn Robb is all these things and more. \nHis recently released book ‘The Art Of Darkness – the History Of Goth’ is a worldwide pop culture best seller and his soon to be launched ground-breaking new scheme – the Green Britain Academy\, is set to train up people in thousands of Eco jobs whilst Borders Blurred is a gaming and music agency with a twist. \nHe grew up in Blackpool before punk rock came along and saved his life and he formed the Membranes – the highly influential post punk band whose current albums keep pushing forward with added choirs and textures and are critically acclaimed.
