About This Event

Neil Codling , keyboardist, rhythm guitarist, co-songwriter and Mat Osman , bassist, discuss their life and times in Suede , one of the UK’s biggest bands, during the remarkable second act of their 35-year career. Award-winning writer Rodge Glass was granted unprecedented access to Suede at home, backstage, in rehearsal and in the studio, to write an intimate biography of the band. He joins Neil and Mat to talk about this special collaboration and how he gained the trust of this famously private band to produce a fascinating portrait of platinum-selling, Mercury Prize-winning, NME God Like Genius-certified giants of British independent music Suede. Chaired by R2 broadcaster Stuart Maconie . There will be a book signing after this event.
