How to be a Rock Star ~ An Evening with Shaun Ryder at Salford Lads Club
***How to be a Rock Star ~ An Evening with Shaun Ryder at Salford Lads Club ~ Sunday 17 October ***
Salford Lads Club is proud to announce that music legend Shaun Ryder will be the special guest for a fundraising in-conversation with journalist, musician and presenter John Robb on Sunday, 17 October 2021.
Shaun is one of the UK's most loved music and television personalities. Salford born and bred, Shaun is a unique wordsmith - his writing skills have been compared to WB Yeats by another Salford icon, the late Tony Wilson.
Having written a Sunday Times best selling autobiography, Twisting my Melon(which is being turned into a film biopic to be screened in 2022), Shaun was runner-up in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Hereand is a star of Celebrity Gogglebox along with his partner in crime, Bez.
Shaun's new book, How to Be a Rock Star, will be published on Thursday 7 October and, according to publishers Allen & Unwin, the book will include: "insights from three decades touring the world, which took him from Salford to San Francisco, from playing working men's clubs to headlining Glastonbury and playing in front of the biggest festival crowd the world has ever seen, in Brazil, in the middle of a thunderstorm!"
The exclusive in-conversation event will be an opportunity to get a flavour of Shaun's new book, hear all about the making of his new solo album, as well as hearing some stories of his childhood growing up in Little Hulton, Salford. John and Shaun know each other well, so the audience will be treated to the "real inside story" of Shaun's extraordinary life. There will be an opportunity to purchase signed copies of Shaun's book on the night, at Salford Lads Club.
For the second part of the evening, there will be a Q&A, where John will be reading out selected questions submitted by members of the audience to ask Shaun.
Shaun is also promoting his new solo album Visits from Future Technology, released on Friday, 20 August, via Shaun's new SWRX Recordings label and is receiving excellent reviews.
Tickets for this exclusive fundraising event will be £22 and will be available from 10 am on Tuesday 31st August.
The Salford Lads Club doors will open at 5 pm. The event will start at 6.30 pm and will finish at approximately 9.00 pm, including an interval.
All profits from the night will be going to Salford Lads' Club and the kids/members' activities and events.
