The Leeds branch of Waterstone's are hosting the launch of The Last Champions on Wednesday 9 May at 7pm.
It is a free event and all welcome, but you will need to book your place in advance either pop in book at the ground floor tills or ring us on 0113 2444588
There is also a signing earlier in the day at Waterstone's in Wakefield, 1pm.
Dave, nothing to do with the book (which looks excellent by the way), but just in case you're in Leeds and free next Saturday. I'm DaddyPig when I'm on The Guardian website, mainly Readers Recommend. I think you were at Leeds Poly with Ant and Pink Peg Slax ? The Slax have had a middle-age reunion, and I've booked them to play my 50th birthday party next weekend; and Rocking Mitch's band are travelling up to play it too. Just being sociable in the name of rock'n'roll, drop me a line if you fancy coming along - tim.fraserbear@metronet.co.uk.
ReplyDeleteBit busy here at moment Tim, baby due 'n' all. Give Ant my regards, if they keep gigging I will get to one of 'em!

Cheers for that, I will indeed say hello to Ant from you. I have a Waterstones voucher for my birthday, and your book plus the Wilko Johnson autobiography are top of the list if no-one else gives them to me ! Good luck with both baby and book.
ReplyDeletecheers Tim
ReplyDeleteI've just finished reading the book and about to start recommending it to a lot of people. Thanks for a great story that needed telling, very well told. I'll try to get people to buy it rather than borrow my copy !
ReplyDeletethanks Tim! Feel free to review on Waterstones' site :-) Did you get the Wilko Johnson book?
ReplyDeleteGood idea - hardbacks best kept mint anyway, paperbacks more amenable to being handed around
I've not got the (other) Wilko book yet, Waterstones don't have 'a relationship with that publisher', and those tax-dodging fiends at Amazon haven't got it in yet. Anyway, I've now launched my reviewing career on both their websites...
ReplyDeletecheers Tim. Hope Waterstones and Wilco get it on, hang out a bit, drink some beers
