If you're in Hastings on Thursday 15th February musician and writer Max Decharne will be talking about his latest book on Teddy Boys at Hastings Bookshop. I shall be 'in conversation' asking some pertinent questions (especially as I know very little about Teddy Boy culture) at this FREE event.

Future Events and Appearances
An event and a radio show in the next month or so.
I shall be hosting a FREE talk by the wonderful Max Decharne on the evening of 8 September at Westminster Reference Library. He has recently revised and added to his book on the history and culture of the King's Road, which will be the subject of the event.
See here. SORRY BUT THIS EVENT HAS HAD TO BE POSTPONED DUE TO INDUSTRIAL ACTION. MORE DETAILS SOON.
Probably best to book in advance through Eventbrite.
Also a recent interview I did for a radio documentary, together with the always-entertaining David McGillivray hosted by Radio 4's reporter, writer and Any Answers presenter Anita Anand about the 'queering' of the magazine Films and Filming. Fascinating stuff.
It's for a radio series called History on the Edge produced by Sara Parker on Radio 4. The first programme was on this morning (Monday 24 July) at 11.00am. I think the Films and Filming episode will probably be the third on 7 August, although it hasn't yet been listed on the website. See here.
