Tracy Emin at The Colony Room: 'It wasn't just all rock and roll and drinking'

What I liked best about the club was Michael

Tracey Emin: The Colony Room was a very eccentric place to hang out, quite mad. I would go there when pubs didn't open all day – it was great because it would be open all afternoon.

And the no-recipe formula, the all-knowing "I've-been-making-pancakes-for-70-years" attitude filled me with a strange, glowing pride for my mum, a real mum doing a real mum thing.
