SUMMARY:ON BOWIE: DYLAN JONES & TERRY O’NEILL AT HATCHARDS
DESCRIPTION:ON BOWIE: DYLAN JONES & TERRY O’NEILL AT HATCHARDS\n\nDate: Tuesday 26 September 2017\nLocation: Hatchards Piccadilly \nLegendary photographer Terry O’Neill and British GQ editor Dylan Jones have both announced major new books on David Bowie for September. \nOn September 26th\, join us at 187 Piccadilly to hear the two men in conversation about the life and work of the stunning singer-songwriter\, artist\, performer\, creative-mind\, and (we’ll mention) voracious reader – who once held an account at Hatchards. \n O’Neill\, considered Bowie’s best visual documentarian\, has previously published a £1\,500 photography book on Bowie (including two original prints)\, exclusively sold at Hatchards. On Sep. 14th\, he releases a new book of photographs from Bowie’s ultimate performance as Ziggy Stardust\, ‘When Bowie Played the Marquee’ (£30)\, a watershed moment in music-history. \nDylan Jones has been a decades-long admirer of Bowie – an obsession which has amounted to his new biography\, ‘Bowie: A Life’ (£20). Released on Sep. 7th\, this thoroughly researched (following 180+ interviews) oral history inspects the star’s life through his early years to the height of his fame. Dealing with original familial\, social\, and creative moments that shaped Bowie\, Jones sheds a critical new light on the enigmatic character and his story. \nTime: 6:30-8:30pm\nPrice: £5 (including wine) redeemable against the price of either book. \nPlease contact events@hatchards.co.uk to reserve tickets\, or call us at 020 7439 9921. \nThis is a seated event and space is strictly limited: RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Radio Woking Walls Come Tumbling Down 2 hour special
DESCRIPTION:Fiery Bird Show featuring Daniel Rachel\nVery happy to announce that my guest on 25 May Fiery Bird Show on Radio Woking is Daniel Rachel – author of ‘Walls Come Tumbling Down – The Music & Politics of Rock Against Racism\, 2Tone and Red Wedge’. Daniel will be joining me to talk about his book where he has brought together the memories and reportage of the people that were there\, that started the movement – musicians\, writers\, photographers\, audience members\, the research\, the movements and the songs that encapsulate those movements. Couldn’t feel more relevant at the moment it will be good to find out more from someone who has painstakingly interviewed\, researched\, recorded and double checked the details. To me\, this is where we leave behind the iconography of old music heroines and really listen to what was being said and what was being done – and what profile is all about and the good that can be done from it. \nSYNOPSIS \nWinner of the Penderyn Music Book Prize\, Walls Come Tumbling Down charts the pivotal period between 1976 and 1992 that saw politics and pop music come together for the first time in Britain’s musical history; musicians and their fans suddenly became instigators of social change\, and ‘the political persuasion of musicians was as important as the songs they sang’. Through the voices of campaigners\, musicians\, artists and politicians\, Daniel Rachel follows the rise and fall of three key movements of the time: Rock Against Racism\, 2 Tone\, and Red Wedge\, revealing how they all shaped\, and were shaped by\, the music of a generation. \nComposed of interviews with over 150 of the key players at the time\, Walls Come Tumbling Down is a fascinating\, polyphonic and authoritative account of those crucial sixteen years in Britain’s history. \nIN THE MEDIA \nA triumphant oral history of Rock Against Racism\, 2 Tone and Red Wedge . . . a tale of resistance: first\, against a surge of racism and bigotry that an inspired group of activists and musicians played a key role in rolling back; and then against a government\, as the same spirit of defiance quickly resurfaced in opposition to the social revolutions of Thatcherism . . . a vivid portrait\nGuardian\nBy the Eighties rock had grown a conscience\, and Walls Come Tumbling Down\, charts how\, in the late Seventies and Eighties\, musicians became engaged in struggled surrounding race\, gender\, sexuality and class\nChoice\nCharts punk\, 2 Tone and then Red Wedge’s subsequent battle for a multicultural Britain in a brilliant account of the period\nQ Magazine \nListen on DAB Digital Radio\nIf you are in the Woking or Rushmoor boroughs\, Radio Woking is available now on DAB Digital Radio.\nJust scan for channels and Radio Woking should appear in your list.  On some radios you will find us listed under “Aldershot Trial” – as we are on DAB thanks to our friends at BFBS Aldershot. \nListen Online\nTo listen online click on the Radio Woking Listen button below. \n \n\n  \nListen using an app on tablet or mobile\nTo listen to Radio Woking on your smartphone or tablet please download the radioplayer app available on IOS\, Android\, Windows Mobile and Amazon Kindle\, open the app and search for “Woking” and Radio Woking will be there.  Blackberry is available with the Tunein app. \non Other Devices\nTo listen to Radio Woking on Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita you will need to download the Tunein app from the Playstation Store then in the app search for “Woking” and Radio Woking will be there.  Samsung and Panasonic connected TV’s also have the app available for download. \nA full list of devices that can use the Tunein app can be found here: http://tunein.com/get-tunein/ \n
