No, this is the first time I've done it, but it's a brilliant thing.

It's really more like an auction, or it's more like a raffle than an auction, in fact, because if 25 people bid on the same drawing, you know, a name is metaphorically pulled out of a hat, so it's kind of a raffle.

But we all did three.

They send you, we all have the same material on which to work.

They send you three slightly large postcards, so you draw on those.

They've had all sorts of amazing people.

Tracey Emin did it once, and I know Mick O'Dea has done it, and I know Bono has done it.

Lots of people have done it.

I remember this very well.

I had an aunt who taught French and kind of through her I became quite young, quite obsessed with all things French.

And even though Braille was Belgian, to me it was kind of French.

And I heard Scott Walker singing Jackie and there was a record shop in, what's the street down by the Pro Cathedral?

Talbot Street.

Talbot Street.

Marlborough Street.

There was a record shop there and I used to go in after school and rifle through the singles.

And I found Scott Walker singing Jackie and I loved it.

I thought it to me, you know, I was 14, 13, 14.

I thought it represented sophistication and, you know, European slightly dark glamour.

So, yeah, I was incredibly drawn to the exoticness of Scott Walker singing Jackie.
