For this session, Matt Johnson will be joined by Jason Wood, the Executive Director of Public Programmes at the British Film Institute and a writer known for his work on popular culture. The conversation is set to explore the narrative of the book, which covers Johnson’s life story. It traces his path from his early years living above a pub in East London to his global success, followed by his long period away from the public eye and his eventual creative return. Given the depth of the book’s subject matter, the discussion aims to provide some context to those decades of his career.
The event takes place at Resident Music, located at 28 Kensington Gardens, Brighton, BN1 4AL. The session is scheduled to run from 18:15 to 20:15. Tickets for the event are priced at £9.43. It is a straightforward setup: a conversation followed by the signing, making it a practical option for anyone interested in the details of Johnson’s life and work or those who have followed his music over the years.
