A History of Manic Street Preachers with author Keith Cameron - Gower St

Join us for an evening with Keith Cameron, the celebrated author of 168 Songs of Hatred and Failure: A History of Manic Street Preachers.

Written with the full cooperation of the band, Cameron's tome charts a history of the group via a deep-dive into their discography.

'This book illuminates thirty-five years of songwriting history with immense skill, expert research, dedication and boundless patience.' - Nicky Wire

As the book's blurb notes, 168 Songs looks at 'the dynamic evolution of a universe in which Karl Marx and Kylie Minogue happily co-exist, that accords Rush and The Clash equal favour, and where Morrisey & Marr meet Torvill and Dean via Nietzsche and New Order in a single four-minute pop song - all in the name of what Nicky Wire himself calls the 'fabulous disaster' of Manic Street Preachers.'

Entry includes a free glass of wine or soft drink.

Don't forget to include a copy of the book with your ticket.

Student concession tickets are available.
