The Red Lion Leytonstone

Rock &amp; Roll Book Club is delighted to host a very special event to mark the publication of Stay Alive: The Life of&amp; Death of Stuart Adamson. We will be joined by The Skids frontman Richard Jobson, &amp; author Scott Rowley - in conversation with journalist Keith Cameron. A brilliantly told – and long overdue – account of the incredible life and sad decline of Stuart Adamson’ John Niven, author &amp; screenwriterThis is the story of Stuart Adamson, founder of not one but two seminal Scottish post-punk bands, The Skids and Big Country. But it’s about more than music. Stay Alive is about alcoholism, abuse, family, fame, addiction, depression and working-class pride. And along the way there are stories of drug busts, debauchery, flag burning, fistfights, prison escapes and riots, with a revolving cast of characters from The Clash to the Rolling Stones.For the first time, both of Stuart Adamson’s wives, children and bandmates tell their side of the story: unflinching, often funny and brutally honest. The book has been written with their full co-operation allowing access to private material – both written and photographic. There will be an opportunity to ask questions &amp; a book signing will take place after the talk.
