Bestselling author of The Miniaturist, Jessie Burton, on her new book, The Confession.

The bestselling author of The Miniaturist, Jessie Burton, discusses her new book, The Confession.

September 2019 marks The Golden Anniversary of the Beatles’ multi-platinum album, Abbey Road - the last work they recorded before their seismic breakup. Grant will explore this auspicious anniversary, in the company of Ken McNab - author of a book detailing the last acrimonious, days of THE BEATLES in 1969 - the year that saw the band reach new highs of musical creativity and new lows of internal strife;  in the middle of it all, emerged the genius of ABBEY ROAD, their incredible farewell  to the world…

Grant also has live music and conversation with Dan Campbell - aka Aaron West of ‘Aaron West and the Roaring 20’s’  -  a unique and compelling, ‘conceptual side-project’ from The Wonder Years frontman…

The million-copy bestselling author of The Miniaturist and The Muse, Jessie Burton discusses her latest work,  The Confession - a luminous, powerful and deeply moving novel about secrets and storytelling, motherhood and friendship, and how we lose and find ourselves…

And Graham Jones- author of 'The Vinyl Revival and the Shops That Made it Happen ‘ -  will be on hand too;  he’ll be discussing how  it has been made in to a film - The Vinyl Revival -  featuring Nick Mason from Pink Floyd and Philip Selway from Radiohead. It’s screening all over the UK and coming to Scotland this week. (Graham will be introducing it and doing a Q&A afterwards.)

All that and Penguin Café main man, Arthur Jeffes discusses their  new album - Handfuls of Night -  and UK Tour.

Don’t Miss it!
