Stuart David is a musician, songwriter and novelist. He grew up in Alexandria, on the west coast of Scotland - a town memorably described as looking like `a town that's helping the police with their inquiries'. The character of Peacock Johnson is based on some of the people Stuart grew up amongst there. Stuart co-founded the band Belle and Sebastian (1996-2000) and went on to form Looper in 1998. His memoir, In the All-Night Cafe: A Memoir of Belle and Sebastian's Formative Year, was published by Abacus/Little, Brown in 2015 to much critical acclaim.
