Joy Hebditch

Mick Farren settled in then-unfashionable Notting Hill with an early lady love, Joy Hebditch; they later married.  Like many in that era, Farren discovered the joys of marijuana and fell in with a radical crowd, including Scottish beat poet Alexander Trocchi and a black-power advocate named Michael de Freitas (who later took the name Michael X).  Mick Farren called the movement that he helped found the “Psychedelic Left”.
