A Continual Farewell – In Conversation with Lindsay Reade

Thursday 5 September, 7.30pm

​

​

We’re delighted to welcome Lindsay Reade in conversation. 

 

Lindsay was the first wife of Factory Records’ Tony Wilson and her memoir, A Continual Farewell, tells the story of their relationship, in full colour through their personal and intimate letters, postcards and numerous family photos and snapshots.

 

They begin with love at first sight in 1976 and are married within a year. From a music show entitled So It Goes to the formation of Factory and the Haçienda, across domestic infidelities, separation, stalled reconciliations and an unceremonious firing.

 

After all that, when one would doubt any recovery was possible, the letters describe a renewed but now illicit love affair of former marriage partners. And beyond that, to a lasting friendship.

 

Lindsey is in conversation with prolific author, rock biographer, editor and broadcaster Zoe Howe.

 

The in-conversation will be followed by a book signing.  Books are available to purchase on the evening from Linghams.
