Steve Hanley in Conversation

Ever wondered what it must have been like to be part of one of the most iconic Manchester bands of all time?

The Fall's bass player Steve Hanley has written a abook on what life was really like in this legendary band.

'The Big Midweek' is full of fascinating insights for anyone interested in music and the life of the musician, telling stories about things like how they had to cash the payment for a John Peel Collection at a dodgy backstreet pawnbrokers, and how it felt to tour America with the likes of The Clash and The Buzzcocks..

The book is co-authored by Olivia Piekarski who will lead this discussion about life in and beyond The Fall, exposing decades of media-propelled myth. Readings from the book will be followed by an audience Q&A.
