Celebrating Set The Boy Free New Edition

Johnny Marr joins Stephen Coates in Vision Hall for a one-off evening to celebrate the new edition of Set the Boy Free. Thames & Hudson publishes it in a special illustrated 10th anniversary edition with unseen new images.

Every ticket includes a copy of the book, to collect when you arrive.

Set the Boy Free is Johnny Marr's own account of his life in music, from growing up in Manchester to forming The Smiths and everything that followed. The new edition pairs the original text with unseen photographs from Marr's own archive: live, backstage and in the studio. It also has a foreword by Noel Gallagher, and Marr's new preface and illustrated afterword on his recent work.

Stephen Coates is an author, cultural curator and countercultural broadcaster. He is the host of the award-winning Bureau of Lost Culture show and the leader of pop-art troubadours The Real Tuesday Weld.

Doors 7pm, 7.30pm start. Seating is unreserved. More at townhall.co.uk.
