Writing about Music is Like Dancing about Architecture: Discussion with Michel Faber and Tiffany Murray

February 15, 2025 @ 2:30 PM

Writing about Music is Like Dancing about Architecture: Discussion with Michel Faber and Tiffany Murray

Join acclaimed authors Michel Faber and Tiffany Murray as they discuss the challenges of writing about different creative forms. Both authors have written about music and will talk about their work, their love of music, and whatever else comes up along the way. The event will be chaired by award-winning writer Louisa Young and followed by a book signing. 

Best-selling author Michel Faber was born in the Netherlands and has since lived in Australia, Scotland and England. His books include Under The Skin (adapted for the big screen by Jonathan Glazer), The Crimson Petal And The White, The Book Of Strange New Things, Undying, D (A Tale Of Two Worlds) and Listen (On Music, Sound And Us). 
Tiffany Murray’s remarkable memoir about growing up at Rockfield music studio near Monmouth, My Family and Other Rock Stars, was a Sunday Times, Observer, Mail and The Week book of the week. It tells of her unique story of growing up in a rural idyll, of Cordon Bleu cookery and of a childhood where the chances of bumping into Freddie Mercury playing piano, or a group of Hell's Angels turning up to record for Lemmy, or even the hope of David Bowie appearing, were as normal as hopscotch and homework. Her novels Diamond Star Halo, Happy Accidents and Sugar Hall have variously been shortlisted for the Wodehouse Bollinger Prize and she received the Roger Deakin Award for nature writing. 
Louisa Young is an acclaimed writer and songwriter whose twelve novels include the award-winning My Dear I Wanted to Tell You trilogy and her latest book, Twelve Months and a Day. She’s half of the children’s author Zizou Corder (with her daughter Isabel Adomakoh Young), and half of the band Birds of Britain (with Alex Mackenzie). A former journalist, she’s also taught at Arvon, Moniack Mhor, Guardian Masterclasses, and for Birkbeck (University of London). She has been a Visiting Specialist Lecturer in Creative Non Fiction at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
