Join them both on a journey back to the era of nylon fabrics, space hoppers and Golden Nuggets in a very special evening of conversation, film and live music, hosted by the author Travis Elborough.
Will Hodgkinson is the author of the music books Guitar Man, Song Man, The Ballad of Britain, and the childhood memoir The House is Full of Yogis. He is a regular contributor to The Guardian, Mojo and Vogue, and presented the Sky Arts television series Songbook. Since 2010, he has been chief rock and pop critic for The Times.
Self-trained classical auteur Mike Batt released four gold-certified albums with The Wombles, setting the template for kid-friendly singalong pop. Batt consolidated this success by reshaping the English folk-rock band Steeleye Span into a singles act with his production of their 1975 hit ‘All Around My Hat’ before writing Art Garfunkel’s 1979 number one ‘Bright Eyes’, featured on the soundtrack to the film Watership Down.
Doors will open from 6:30pm.
