The Americans claim they invented Rock ’n’ Roll, but did they? Learn the truth, with an evening of live music, fiery discussion, intrigue and debate.
Join Amazon best-selling author Elizabeth Sharkey as she completely rewrites the history of British pop music with her debut book, Why Britain Rocked: How Rock Became Roll and Took Over the World, with live music from local folk musicians Phil Simpson, Phil Ball, and Roy Wild.
As it’s the final date of her national tour, her husband Feargal Sharkey has decided to join her on stage and interview her. He’s promised not to talk about s***e.
Tickets: £17
