Thanks, but I'm from Norway, so it's a bit far  I'm reaaly interested in the topic (writing a book), so please see if it's possible to record in any way. 

Hi everyone

The space is set up and Stuart and John are well up for it, so a great afternoon is in store. 

Event starts at 3pm, and museum doors open at 2.30pm for those who want to look around and get settled. 

Waterstones will be downstairs in the exhibition space at the end of the event for those who are inspired and want to buy a book, and Stuart has kindly agreed to do a signing. 

See you later

how did it go people?

one take below

I proper enjoyed it. Both Stuart and John were funny, honest, and as you would expect, extremely knowledgeable. You never would have known it was the first time they had ever met in person, they were like longtime friends catching up, such brilliant chemistry.

Didn't focus too much on the books, had more of a northern soul feel, talking about Stuart's journey from soul boy to author, and all the twists and turns along the way. Stuart put John on the spot midway through with a live valuation session for some of his collection that he had brought with him, absolutely hilarious. 

Great banter and brilliant stories from both made for a fabulous couple of hours. I can't thank them enough for being so candid, and for sharing so much with us all. 

Great to hear it went well Joan. @Jumpinjoan

Was it recorded? Would love to hear, would love to have been there but all out of holidays at work.

Hi Chalky

Yes it was filmed, will share when it's edited and posted online x

It was my Twitter post above  - it was a great afternoon and alongside some fantastic tales (Mary Wilson scandalous stories!) there was a lot of humour. Some of the best moments were John and Stuart reflecting on the strange situations record collecting had thrown them into. Some comedy, some poignant. So glad it’s been recorded- will bring a lot of enjoyment!
