About this Event
This unique event offers the opportunity to hear journalist, broadcaster and author Clive Myrie speak about his fascinating life. Entry includes a copy of his recent autobiography and a welcome drink on arrival.
Clive Myrie is a celebrated journalist, who has reported from hotspots all over the world, and latterly hosted the BBC’s News at Ten and Mastermind.
His journalistic career has taken him to over 80 countries across multiple continents, from Asia to Africa and the Americas, covering some of the biggest stories of our time. From the British-American invasion of Iraq to the impeachment of then President Bill Clinton, from Russia's war on Ukraine to the final of the Euros in Berlin, he has witnessed the defining moments of recent history and brought those stories home from the front-lines to the front-page.
Tickets for this event include a copy of his autobiography, Everything is Everything. In the book, you will learn about the history that brought his family to the UK from Jamaica; the fast-paced world of on-the-ground journalism, and the worst possible time to wear a red shirt.
He will be interviewed by Alison Baverstock, founder of the charity Reading Force, which connects military families through shared-reading. This is a fundraising event for the charity, about which you can find out more at www.readingforce.org.uk - the photograph on this site shows Clive receiving an honorary degree, from Kingston University, from where Alison set up the charity.
