Do It For Your Mum

Words and music featuring tales of British Sea Power, Scafell Pike, Ian Dury and the European nightjar. Presented by the rock writer Roy Wilkinson and the omnipotent rock poet Jock Scot, plus musical guests. Roy will read from his forthcoming family memoir Do It For Your Mum, looking at how the band British Sea Power came to encompass the Lake District, two of his brothers and their suddenly rock-mad octogenarian dad. Jock Scot will draw on a career that’s seen him work with anyone from The Clash, Dury and Vivian Stanshall to British Sea Power and Lemmy. They promise prize competitions, ad-hoc audio intervention and surprise musical interlopers. Do It For Your Mum is the first title from the all-new Rough Trade Books.
