We're delighted to welcome music writer Penny Kiley to the British Music Experience for the launch of her memoir Atypical Girl.
Penny was Liverpool correspondent for Melody Maker during the post-punk years of the last 1970s and early 80s, wrote for Smash Hits and was also pop columnist for the Liverpool Echo. She was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 60 and Atypical Girl begins as a coming of age story and ends as a midlife intervention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.
Penny will be in conversation with award-winning Liverpool writer and lecturer Jeff Young, plus there will be a DJ set in the museum café bar from resident Eric's DJ Norman Killon.
All tickets £12 (books sold separately)
