The Adventures Of Andy Kershaw - Audio/visual Event + Book-signing

Andy Kershaw has been a BBC foreign correspondent, in countries as diverse as Rwanda and North Korea; had his own BBC radio world music shows for many years; was BBC anchorman on the first Live Aid; was a roadie for Billy Bragg; worked on Rolling Stones live shows; and much more besides!

Andy’s one-man show, The Adventures of Andy Kershaw, has become a hugely successful highlight of many literary festivals - including a sold-out appearance at Hay on Wye - and a popular draw at theatres and arts centres around the UK. Fascinating and often hilarious, the two hour audio-visual presentation treats the audience to recollections from a life spent on the front lines of rock & roll, and on the front lines of some of the world’s most extreme and dangerous countries.
The event will include a book-signing of Andy's acclaimed autobiography "No Off Switch".

"The finest British broadcaster bar none" - Stephen Fry
"A gloriously cheeky b****d. Read his book. A handbook for our times." - Pete Townshend
"Andy Kershaw is such an enthusiast. He made me travel a little further than I normally do. He has an ability to do things first and ask questions afterwards. Not a recipe for a safe, secure life, maybe, but it makes things a lot more interesting for the rest of us." - Michael Palin
"Andy Kershaw is a compulsive truth-teller and he does it with verve, wit and passion. He is one of the few truly original voices in broadcasting and his book is already a classic." - Fergal Keane
"Andy Kershaw - without you we wouldn’t know nothin’!" - Joe Strummer
"Intrepid to the point of lunacy, Kershaw escaped landmines and guns and has lived to tell us this admirable tale." - Blues & Soul
