Yesterday – Sunday, 12 November 2012 – The Principal
Hotel, Manchester
Along with my son Steven, I went to the Louder Than
Words event – “The UK’s biggest music based literature festival” to attend a
reading by Michael Bradley, musician, broadcaster, radio producer and writer.
I have blogged and shared my post on his great book
Teenage Kicks: My Life As An Undertone.

You really should do yourself a favour and buy it.
MB is a brilliant writer and his story of The
Undertones punk-rock group from Derry is very informative, very entertaining
and very funny. But to hear him read extracts, throwing in the occasional
historical aside, brought it all to life in a way that only he could. He was
there. He lived the dream and all the rest of it. He was, still is and always
will be an Undertone.
It was great to meet him in person. I am a big fan of
his BBC Radio Ulster Show (8 to 10 Tuesday evenings) and he once interviewed me
for an item on The Arts Show.
Steven enjoyed it too. He is of a different generation
but he found the whole thing fascinating.
Thanks Michael. Keep doing what you do.
