✨Event Announcement ✨
Dave Haslam - Creative Journeys: Intimate conversations with artists, actors, writers and musicians

📍 Serenity Books (Romiley), SK6 4EA
🗓️ Tuesday 1st December 2026

Acclaimed DJ and writer Dave Haslam has been interviewing writers, artists, actors and musicians for over 40 years and his new book Creative Journeys is a collection of revelatory conversations with creative icons that also takes us behind the scenes and explains the strategies behind his most illuminating interviews. Dave will be joining us in Romiley on Tuesday 1st December to discuss his work with Michael Taylor (The Marple Leaf). The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.

Tickets are just £5.00 (or £20.00 including a copy of the book) and light refereshments are included. 🔗 in comments for tickets.

Doors: 6.00pm, starts: 6.30pm

About the book:

‘Packed with surprising tangents and revealing insights.’ – Miranda Sawyer

‘Engaged, insightful, fascinating.’ – Alexis Petridis

Over forty years, acclaimed DJ, writer and broadcaster Dave Haslam has interviewed some of the most fascinating figures in music, literature, film and art. Creative Journeys gathers revelatory conversations with creative characters including Neneh Cherry, Maxine Peake, Lemn Sissay, Andrew Weatherall, Raymond Carver and Jeremy Deller.

From politics and performance to art, fame and addiction, Haslam’s interviewees speak with honesty about their creative journeys. Viv Albertine discusses ‘Typical Girls’ and Paddy Considine recalls Dead Man’s Shoes. Jarvis Cocker goes deep into ‘This is Hardcore’. Terry Hall and Miki Berenyi speak about childhood trauma. Bernard Sumner recalls the loss of Ian Curtis. Jonathan Franzen talks about torturing his characters. There’s darkness but much humour too.

The interviews provide fascinating stories of unorthodox, creative artists navigating negativity and personal setbacks to become celebrated cultural icons.
