Name: Mike Read : Writing On The Wall
Start: 2025-03-07T17:00:00+00:00
Location: Victoria Institute

Mike’s book, Writing On The Wall contains the stories and people behind 100 blue plaques from across the United Kingdom, each linking, through a common denominator, to the next. From David Bowie to William Shakespeare it runs the gamut of plaques remembering kings, actors, singers, explorers, footballers, cricketers, writers, inventors, scientists, politicians, musicians, reformers, broadcasters, songwriters, comedians, pioneers, artists, the military, athletes, dancers, activists, poets and education. From Lennon and McCartney to the victims of Jack the Ripper this is an eclectic representation of British life, through our blue plaques, from the 1500s to 2017.
A Knight of Malta, Mike has written over 40 books, several stage musicals and songs for 45 major artists.
