A well-known author, broadcaster and journalist makes a visit to Worthing in a late addition to the Artists + Makers Festival programme. Andrew Collins will appear at Waterstone�s, Worthing on Friday 6th July.
Collins is well-known as a broadcaster, presenting shows on BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 and 6 Music � as well as the Sony Award winning �Collins & Maconie�s Hit Parade� for Radio 1. He�s also a familiar figure from TV, having appeared as a �talking head� on many film and music programmes (often in his role as Film Editor for the Radio Times) and on Dr Who Confidential. His blog, Never Knowingly Underwhelmed, is a must for fans of TV and film � and in the �Friends Reunited� book he cemented his reputation as a social commentator.
But Collins is perhaps best known for his work as the author of an autobiographical trilogy. Sunday Times bestseller �Where Did It All Go Right?� covers his happy childhood in the 70s, and �Heaven Knows I�m Miserable Now� covers 80s London as a student and the start of his career in journalism (Collins has edited NME and Q Magazine). His latest novel - 'That's Me In The Corner' � brings the series bang up to date, covering his career as a journalist and broadcaster. In this special Artists + Makers Festival event, Collins will recreate the slideshows of his childhood as he talks through the trilogy.
Andrew Collins appears at Waterstone�s, Montague Street, Worthing on Friday 6th July. Doors open at 6.45 for a 7pm start. Admission is free, but places are limited so arrive early. Collins has performed at the Edinburgh Festival, so a top quality night is guaranteed.
