SUMMARY:Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs\, with award winning music journalist Miranda Sawyer in conversation with freelance writer Daniel Dylan Wray
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival we are taking you back to the 90s for an evening at the Old Woollen with the definitive Britpop mixtape from award-winning pop-writer Miranda Sawyer. Sharing the vivid stories behind 20 key songs of the 90s – ‘Common People’ to ‘Girls and Boys’\, ‘Connection’ to ‘Firestarter’; AND the bands that made them. Miranda will be interviewed by Daniel Dylan Wray\, a freelance writer for The Guardian since 2017\, covering music\, film\, TV\, documentary\, podcast as well as general interest stories. \n\n\n\nWhen Miranda Sawyer interviewed Noel Gallagher in 1995\, his gag wishing Damon Albarn would die of AIDS became front-page news. This fascinating pop history\, exploring the mid-90s moment when British music suddenly meant everything\, explains why. Picking out twenty key songs\, delving into the surprising stories behind them and their unlikely creators\, Uncommon People takes us back to when Jarvis Cocker became a national hero\, Trainspotting was a global hit\, fire-starting seemed like a good night out – and it felt as though the revolution was happening. \n\n\n\nInitially a music press nickname\, Britpop became an unexpected musical movement centred around outsiders and misfits\, drop-outs and weirdos who refused to compromise on their ideas\, even when they were thrust into the international spotlight. Not just a scene for white guys with guitars\, but something wilder and more interesting\, with songs that have proved timeless. Exploring the era’s key artists – Oasis\, Blur\, Tricky\, Pulp\, Underworld\, Manic Street Preachers\, The Prodigy\, Suede\, Chemical Brothers\, Garbage\, Supergrass\, Radiohead\, PJ Harvey and more – through their definitive anthems\, Miranda Sawyer transports us back to the beating heart of the nineties. \n\n\n\nUNCOMMON PEOPLE re-lives the mad exhilaration of what it was like to hear these songs for the very first time – and what it was like to make them. With amazing new interviews\, and I-was-there insight\, this book offers a backstage pass to all the most interesting bits of Britpop’s Greatest Hits. Forget New Labour\, forget earnest trend theories\, this book is all about the music\, the people and being right there\, right now. \n\n\n\n‘That tired old phrase ‘if you remember the 90s you probably weren’t there’ does have a ring of truth.  Luckily\, Miranda Sawyer was both there and has a far better memory than me. Even more fortunately\, she writes about those days with great verve\, style and acuity. Absolutely indispensable.’ IRVINE WELSH \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiranda Sawyer has written about pop culture for the Observer ever since they hired her to explain why Kurt Cobain’s death was such a big deal in 1993. She has since interviewed everyone from Liam Gallagher to Irvine Welsh. She has also written for the Face\, Select\, and Smash Hits and won several awards.The Culture Show’s Music Correspondent since 2007 and a regular on Radio 4\, she has made  documentaries about the Spice Girls and even co-presented Big Mouth with Tony Parsons in 1996. Her first book Park and Ride explored the British suburbs\, her second Out of Time exploded the midlife crisis\,Uncommon People takes us time-travelling back into the heart of 90s pop. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival. Doors open 7:00pm event starts 8:00pm

SUMMARY:Guy Shrubsole in conversation with Boff Whalley. The Lie of the Land: Who Really Cares for the Countryside?
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival we bring you an evening at the Old Woollen with Sunday Times Best Selling Author\, Guy Shrubsole in conversation with Boff Whalley.  They will be discussing Guy’s new book The Lie of the Land: Who Really Cares for the Countryside?  \n\n\n\nFor centuries we’ve been sold a lie: that you need to own the land to care for it.  Just 1% of the population own half of England\, and this tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as the rightful custodians of the countryside. They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care? \n\n\n\nA small number of landowners have laid waste to some of our most treasured landscapes\, leaving our forests bare\, our rivers polluted\, our moorlands burned\, and our fenlands drained. Here Guy Shrubsole journeys all over Britain to expose the damage done to our land\, and meet the communities fighting back: the river guardians\, small farmers and trespassing activists restoring our lost wildlife. Full of rage and hope\, this is a bold vision for our nation’s wild places\, and how we can treat them with the awe and attention they deserve. \n\n\n\nIt’s time to demand better for nature. We can start by replacing the lie of the land with a profound truth: that any of us can care for the countryside\, regardless of whether you own it. \n\n\n\nThis is set to be a night of great discussion and their will be chance for the audience to ask Guy their own questions on this subject. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuy Shrubsole is an environmental campaigner and writer. He is the author of Who Owns England?\, an instant Sunday Times bestseller\, and The Lost Rainforests of Britain\, which won the Wainwright Prize for  writing on Conservation and was shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Society Literary Prize. For the past decade and a half Guy has campaigned on the climate and nature crises\, working for a wide range of organisations from Friends of the Earth and the Right to Roam campaign\, to the Department for the Environment\, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Guy lives in Devon. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival. Doors open 7:00pm event starts 8:00pm

SUMMARY:Bedsit Land - The Strange Worlds of Soft Cell by music journalist\, DJ & author Patrick Clarke in conversation with journalist\, broadcaster and musician John Robb
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival we are excited to announce\, an evening at the Old Woollen with music journalist\, DJ & author Patrick Clarke about his latest release Bedsit Land – The Strange Worlds of Soft Cell. Patrick will be joined in conversation with journalist\, broadcaster and musician John Robb. \n\n\n\nSoft Cell are more than just a pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may be best known for the string of  hits they released in 1981\, but the powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array of sounds\, influences and innovations that would change the face of music to come. \n\n\n\nIn Bedsit land\, Patrick Clarke plunges into the archives and interviews more than sixty contributors\, including the band members themselves\, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho. From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. He emerges on the other side with the most in-depth\, innovative and entertaining account of the duo ever written. \n\n\n\nPatrick Clarke is a music journalist and live DJ. He is the deputy editor of the Quietus and a freelance contributor to the Guardian\, NME\, DIY Magazine and many more. He has also written for a number of specialist titles\, including No Depression\, N By Norwegian and MARVIN. \n\n\n\nPatrick will be joined in conversation by the well-known media figure who has been active in music for decades John Robb. John is a journalist\, broadcaster and musician. He is the author of Punk Rock: An Oral History (2006) and The Art of Darkness: The History of Goth\, the first major book on Goth culture. He is the founder of culture website louderthanwar.com and plays bass in the post-punk band The Membranes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival – Doors open 7pm

SUMMARY:Destination Fabulous - Find your way to your best you yet with Anna Murphy
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival we are bringing you another fabulous event\, join us in the Old Woollen as we chat to Anna Murphy\, Fashion Director of The Times.  Anna will be introducing Destination Fabulous – her inspirational and invigorating guide to embracing your age and celebrating the wisdom and inner beauty that comes with it. \n\n\n\nFrom the Fashion Director of The Times comes a wise and inspiring guide to making the most of life as a grown-up woman – from the practical (how to dress your best) to the existential (how to feel your best). \n\n\n\nAt 52\, Anna Murphy feels more visible than at any point in her life to date. In Destination Fabulous\, she offers a toolkit to help you embrace your age and celebrate the wisdom and inner beauty that comes with it. It’s not about impossible goals. It’s not about running a marathon (unless you want it to be). It’s not about denying the ageing process\, nor attempting to erase its signs. It’s not about letting everything go\, either. It’s about balance. It’s about the possible and the present. And it’s about the future you want. How do you lift and smooth your face naturally? Should you go grey\, and\, if so\, how? How do you deal with menopause? Anna combines her knowledge from years of writing about fashion and beauty with her openness to the alternative ways of thinking found in disciplines such as yoga and Chinese medicine. For her natural is always best.  \n\n\n\nAs for fashion\, Anna knows better than anyone that this can be the ultimate route into surfacing the true you. She shares all her tricks for finding your way to a wardrobe that will transform not just the way you look but the way you feel. And she shares the highlights of her conversations over the years with super-stylish agers such as Iris Apfel and Miuccia Prada. How have they got it right? Drawing on the wisdom of writers as diverse as Pema Chödrön and Eckhart Tolle\, Dorothy Rowe and Osho\, Nora Ephron and Mary Oliver\, she writes about saying goodbye to what doesn’t serve you and welcoming what does; about forging relationships that work for you as well as others; and about finding your purpose\, whether in your personal or professional life. Discover how the bumps on her road have helped her find her way to her true path. Her hope is that this book will help you to find yours\, too. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the 2024 Farsley Literature Festival. Doors open 1pm event starts 2pm

SUMMARY:An evening with Patrick Grant
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the charming setting of the Old Woollen for a fantastic evening with TV Presenter and judge of the BAFTA-nominated BBC series\, The Great British Sewing Bee\, Patrick Grant.  Patrick will be in conversation with William Gaunt about his career which spans almost two decades in the fashion industry.  \n\n\n\nDon’t miss out on this unique opportunity to hear the talented Patrick Grant and get a signed copy of his new book ‘The Savile Row Suit.’ \n\n\n\nSavile Row is the home of bespoke tailoring. This short street is home to many of the world’s finest tailoring houses\, a street where for over 200 years royals\, rock stars\, and giants of the business and political worlds have come to have their clothes cut\, sewn and fitted. Patrick Grant\, co-owner of Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons\, describes the long-standing traditions of craftsmanship that are maintained in the workrooms of this quiet corner of London’s Mayfair – a fascinating and uniquely storied world. He celebrates the extraordinary ecosystem\, from the British weavers and cloth houses to the trimmings merchants\, that allows Savile Row to flourish. Grant shines a light on the captivating story of Savile Row\, the painstaking processes required to create a bespoke garment\, and the story of his personal experiences on this most famous thoroughfare. \n\n\n\nThis book details\, for the first time\, the complete tailoring methods of several of Savile Row’s finest sewing tailors\, providing a detailed step-by-step manual on how to hand-make a pair of trousers\, waistcoat\, and coat in the Savile Row style\, and a shirt in the style of one of Jermyn Street’s finest shirt makers. Richly illustrated\, this book gives an insight into a highly discreet and rarefied world of craftsmanship. \n\n\n\nPatrick is the co-owner of Norton & Sons and the co-owner and Director of Community Clothing. He won Menswear Designer of the Year at the 2010 British Fashion Awards.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick Grant has a lot to say about clothes; how many we buy\, how we value them\, what they’re made from\, and importantly who made them and where. His campaigning clothes brand Community Clothing supports local clothing and textile manufacturers across the UK and Patrick is an outspoken advocate for radical change in the fashion and clothing industry\, for moving beyond sustainable to circular and regenerative. \nPatrick’s career in fashion has spanned almost two decades. In that time he has rebuilt the Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons\, relaunched E. Tautz\, for which he won Menswear Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards\, and built the most successful designer collaboration in Debenham’s history with Hammond & Co. He has worked with some of the world’s best known brands including Cartier\, Rolls Royce\, Lotus\, BMW\, Mercedes\, The Macallan\, Chivas Regal\, Barbour\, Christian Louboutin\, and Alexander McQueen. \nThen in 2015 Patrick bought the ailing Blackburn clothing manufacturer Cookson & Clegg\, saving the factory from closure. This got him thinking about the fate of the many other great UK textile and garment makers\, many of which he knew well\, and how to secure their future and the future prosperity of the communities that those businesses support. The result of this thinking was Community Clothing which was launched in 2016 and has since earned him widespread praise. \nPatrick won Celebrity Mastermind and The Weakest Link\, but didn’t do as well in Masterchef. He has written on diverse subjects for many titles including The Financial Times\, The Times and GQ. He has written three books\, Original Man\, published in 2014\, and will release LESS and The Savile Row Suit in May 2024. Patrick has a degree in Materials Science from Leeds and an MBA from Oxford\, an honorary Doctorate from Heriot Watt\, an honorary Fellowship from UCLan\, is an honorary Professor at Glasgow Caledonian\, and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. In 2018 he gave a Ted Talk about the thinking behind Community Clothing. And he is an ambassador for The King’s Foundation\, a charity which supports education activities for people of all ages across the UK. \nDoors open 7pm

It is already central to communication\, military strategy and international relations on Earth. Now\, it is the latest arena for human exploration\, exploitation – and\, possibly\, conquest. With China\, the USA and Russia leading the way\, the next fifty years will change the face of global politics. \n\n\n\nWith all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics\, this gripping book shows that politics and geography are as important in the skies as on the ground\, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it all means for us down on Earth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Marshall is a leading authority on foreign affairs with more than 30 years of reporting experience. He  as diplomatic editor at Sky News\, and before that was working for the BBC and LBC/IRN radio. He has  reported from 40 countries and covered conflicts in Croatia\, Bosnia\, Macedonia\, Kosovo\, Afghanistan\,  Iraq\, Lebanon\, Syria and Israel. He is the author of the No. 1 Sunday Times bestsellers Prisoners of  Geography: Ten Maps that Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics (which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide) and The Power of Geography: Ten Maps that Reveal the Future of Our  World.

He has toured his award-winning stand-up across the world\, both solo and with his radio double-act partner\, Professor Brian Cox. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobin Ince\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy play to 12\,000 people when you can play to 12?
