Neneh Cherry in conversation at St George's Church, Brighton

.

'Neneh is cool, Neneh is wise, Neneh is a legend. Her memoir is a treasure. I loved it.'

ZADIE SMITH

Top of the Pops, December 1988. The world sat up as a young woman made her debut: gold bra, gold bomber jacket, and proudly, gloriously, seven months pregnant. This was no ordinary artist. This was Neneh Cherry.

But navigating fame and family wasn't always simple. In this beautiful and deeply personal memoir, Cherry remembers the collaborations, the highs and lows, the friendships and loves, and the addictions and traumas that have shaped her as a woman and an artist. At the heart of it, always, is family: the extraordinary three generations of artists and musicians that are her inheritance and her legacy.

Join Neneh as she discusses her life and career in A Thousand Threads – a kaleidoscopic story celebrating the power of love, family and the joy of creativity – a call to arms: to own your journey and to always take a stance.

Tickets: £32, includes entry and a copy of A Thousand Threads (RRP. £25) and £12 general admission (incl. fees)
