Will Hodgkinson has been writing for MOJO for two decades, with a special interest in 60s and 70s mellow rock, pastoral folk, Brazilian psych and other styles that go well with the wearing of too much denim. He has contributed to The Guardian, Vogue and The New York Times and since 2011 he has been chief rock and pop critic of The Times. He is the author of the music books Guitar Man, Song Man, The Ballad of Britain and In Perfect Harmony: Singalong Pop In 70s Britain. His memoir on a 1980s childhood, The House Is Full Of Yogis, told the story of how his family went from being boring suburbanites to meditating freaks after his father ate a dodgy coronation chicken at a dinner party and ended up joining a spiritual cult called the Brahma Kumaris. Will lives in Peckham, South East London.
