Bob Stanley & Tessa Norton - Excavate: The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall

Excavate: The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall
Bob Stanley & Tessa Norton chaired by Nicola Meighan

9.45pm – 10.45pm BST*

Bob Stanley was a founding member of Saint Etienne, is the author of Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Story of Modern Pop, and has written for the Guardian, The Times, NME and The Face. Tessa Norton writes regularly about art, books and music for various publications including The Wire. Over a prolific forty-year career, the Fall created a world that was influential, idiosyncratic and fiercely original - and defied simple categorisation. Bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten material, alongside essays by a slate of fans, EXCAVATE! is a vivid, definitive record - an illumination of the dark corners of the Fall's wonderful and frightening world.
