Quitting his job as a bank clerk to become a member of the, erm, Members, co-authoring their early hits Solitary Confinement and Sound Of The Suburbs, JC’s career has followed a remarkable trajectory. As well as a life in music working with legends such as Graham Parker, Johnny Thunders and film composer Michael Kamen, he also set up the iconic London boutique ‘The Dispensary’ selling his own designs and becoming a gathering place for the early acid house scene. Described by Ian Hislop as ‘the TS Eliot of Punk’ JC now tours and records regularly as frontman of the Members and has recently published his brilliant autobiography ‘(Still) Annoying The Neighbours’.
Come and join us as JC holds court with a mixture of chat, readings and song followed by an audience Q&A.
