As one-third of seminal band Cocteau Twins, Simon Raymonde helped to create some of the most beautiful and memorable music of the ’80s and ’90s – and he’s written a book! It’s great. I will be talking to him on October 8th in the lovely Walthamstow, for the equally lovely Rock n Roll Bookclub. Tickets here.


And then to the 22nd! And Miranda Sawyer’s music chat! The book is a coruscating history of mid-90’s Britain through the prism of 20 key songs, as if it were a mix tape. Join us! Tickets and more details here.
