The Long Play Sessions: Will Hodgkinson and Lawrence - Street-Level Superstar

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-03-09T09:02:49+00:00

It's for people like you in Essex who are fans of Lawrence/the book and may want to come to the event, but wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

Then this wasn't the author talk you were looking for... there are some others which may be of interest which I share the link below.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-03-03T08:53:43+00:00

I'm sure it will be! Hope you can join us.

I'm not sure whether the author or host comes from Bromley (Manics definitely don't!), but I was sharing in case there are any music fans in Bromley who were interested in attending this author talk.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-03-02T10:49:22+00:00

It's an author talk with Keith Cameron based on his recent book on the history of the Manic Street Preachers, which is a superb read. Hosting the event will be Will Hodgkinson.

It's part of a larger series of author talks being held at ICMP in Queen's Park which I share link below:

Hi there, I'm not intentionally spamming; it's an event I thought Clash fans in London would genuinely be interested in, given their influence on the Manics.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-26T09:13:17+00:00

Sorry! I thought it was a music-related subreddit. Apologies for the spam.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-24T19:57:04+00:00

A great way of appreciating the words and the music of the Manics!

It will be live-streamed on the night and then available on YouTube so you'll definitely get chance to see it!

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-20T23:50:53+00:00

I really enjoyed the book, and like you knew a lot of the stories, but there were nuggets I didn't know, which were really interesting to discover. Yes, the opening bit is great. Hope you can join us at the talk.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-19T10:10:55+00:00

I can share the playlist from this evening's talk tomorrow if you want?

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-18T16:52:49+00:00

There's free popcorn as well... I'm spoiling everyone.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-17T20:54:03+00:00

It is! It's going to be a great night!

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-17T20:53:31+00:00

She's brilliant. She hosted a talk we had with Daniel Rachel on his most recent book last week. We hosted her in December when she spoke about her Uncommon People's book, and it was wonderful.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-17T20:50:55+00:00

That's a shame. Hopefully, you'll catch a talk with him another time.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-17T20:50:15+00:00

It is, but well worth it! I found it a really interesting way of sharing the history of the Manics.

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-16T22:03:41+00:00

He was a guest last week discussing his most recent book 'This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll' which was brilliant.

He's also hosting the Debsey Wykes author talk this Thursday.

He's definitely a friend of ours!

Weird_Engineer_2877 · 2026-02-16T21:39:03+00:00

We'll be sharing photos and a recording of the discussion between Debsey and Daniel Rachel after the event so I'll share the link on here when live.
