About this Event

We are delighted to welcome writer and Louder Than War radio presenter Audrey Golden to Deansgate in celebration of her fantastic new book

Factory Records has become the stuff of legend. The histories of the label have been told from many perspectives, from visual catalogues and memoirs to exhibitions. The untold history of Factory Records is one of women's work at nearly every turn, yet no in-depth history has ever been told from the perspectives of the women who were integral to Factory's cultural significance.

Told entirely in their voices and featuring contributions from Gillian Gilbert, Gina Birch, Cath Carroll, Penny Henry and over fifty more interviewees, I Thought I Heard You Speak is an oral history that reveals the true cultural reach of the label and its staying power in the twenty-first century.

Joined in conversation by John Robb, the pair will be discussing this new work, the music industry and all things Factory. There will be the opportunity for audience questions, followed by a signing with the author.
