Join award-winning journalist and the former Melody Maker & Uncut editor as he reveals stories from the glory days of rock ‘n’ roll, including Lou Reed, Elton John, Sting and The Clash.
Allan Jones brings stories from the golden days of music reporting. Long nights of booze, drugs and unguarded conversations which include anecdotes, experiences and extravagant behaviour… A band’s aftershow party in San Francisco being gatecrashed by cocaine-hungry Hells Angels… Chrissie Hynde on how rock ‘n’ roll killed The Pretenders… What happened when Nick Lowe and 20 of his mates flew off to Texas to join the Confederate Air Force… John Cale on his dark alliance with Lou Reed… plus much more.
Allan Jones remembers a world that once was – one of dark excess and excitement, outrageous deeds and extraordinary talent, featuring legends at both the beginnings and ends of their careers.
Join us for a an evening of more rock ‘n’ roll war stories as Allan Jones is in conversation with Alan O’Hare (Only Child).
