Writer and critic Stuart Cosgrove will be at Watersone’s, 153–157 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3EW, on 21st January celebrating his latest book – part of his three book trilogy. £5 entrance fee.
His new volume ‘Harlem 69: The Future of Soul’ is the final book in his epic 1960’s trilogy about soul music and social change in three American cities in three crucial years, following Detroit ’67 and the Penderyn Music Book Prize 2018 winner, Memphis ’68. Stuart will be in conversation with Alison Stroak from Glasgow Music City Tours.
‘Cosgrove weaves a compelling web of circumstance that maps a city struggling with the loss of its youth to the Vietnam War, the hard edge of the civil rights movement and ferocious inner-city rioting … a whole-hearted evocation of people and places’ – Independent
