Each session goes beyond the page\, bringing live conversation\, cultural context and creative insight to the stories that shape music history. \nDebsey will be joined in conversation by award-winning author and broadcaster Daniel Rachel\, one of the UK’s leading voices in music writing. Known for his sharp\, empathetic interviewing style and deep cultural knowledge\, Rachel brings a vital perspective to the discussion and will also appear as a featured guest in The Long Play Sessions in February 2026 (view event). \nTeenage Daydream is part memoir\, part cultural history\, celebrating the untold stories of girls and women who formed bands\, picked up instruments\, and carved out space in a music industry that rarely made room for them.

It is an essential contribution to conversations around youth culture\, feminism and popular music history. \nWhat to expect\n\nScreening of Take Three Girls: Dolly Mixture Story (40mins)\nAn inspiring talk from Debsey Wykes on the stories and themes behind Teenage Daydream\nIn-depth conversation with Daniel Rachel on music\, gender and creativity\nAudience Q&A\nBook signing opportunity.
