Creative Journeys - Dave Haslam with special guest Lemn Sissay

Join ebb & flo bookshop to celebrate the launch of Dave Haslam's latest book.

For over forty years DJ, writer and broadcaster Dave Haslam has interviewed some of the most fascinating figures in music, literature, film and art. Creative Journeys gathers revelatory conversations with creative characters including Neneh Cherry, Maxine Peake, Lemn Sissay, Andrew Weatherall, Raymond Carver and Jeremy Deller.

From politics and performance to art, fame and addiction, Haslam's interviewees speak with honesty about their creative journeys. Viv Albertine discusses Typical Girls and Paddy Considine recalls Dead Mans Shoes. Jarvis Cocker goes deep into This is Hardcore.

Terry Hall and Miki Berenyi speak about childhood trauma. Bernard Sumner recalls the loss of Ian Curtis. Jonathan Franzen talks about torturing his characters.

Theres darkness but much humour too. The interviews provide fascinating stories of unorthodox, creative artists navigating negativity and personal setbacks to become celebrated cultural icons.

For this event, Lemn Sissay will be joining Dave onstage to discuss interviewing and being interviewed, poetry, music, life, art and more. Expect inspiration, ideas and some exclusive stories!

Books by both authors will be available to buy on the night, and the event will conclude with a signing session.
