My Family and Other Rock Stars: Tiffany Murray in conversation - Cardiff

Join us for an event with Tiffany Murray, former Hay Festival Ficition Fellow, to celebrate the publication of her first memoir, My Family and Other Rock Stars. Refeshments will be provided! Doors open at 18:30.
It's the late 1970s and Tiff lives with her mum, Joan, at Rockfield, the iconic recording studios. This place of legend, where some of the most famous rock albums of all time were recorded, is the background to a freewheeling, ever-changing whirlwind of a childhood.
Tiff's days are spent running around the farm, making firends with local wildlife and helping out with the endless array of dishes her mum creates to keep the bands fed. She's looking for a dog, she's looking for a father; but the one constant throughout is her and Joan, building an unconventional family in the most unlikely of locations.
Tiffany Murray's writing has appeared in Granta, the Guardian, Telegraph, Sunday Times Style, GQ, Independent on Sunday and featured on BBC Radio 4. Her novels, Diamon Star Halo, Happy Accidents and Sugar Hall, have variously been shortlisted for the Wodehouse Bollinger Prize and received the Roger Deakin Award for nature writing.
My Family and Other Rock Stars is sometimes charming, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes both funny and unsettling, and always - from start to end - very, very good -- Roddy Doyle
I loved Tiffany's memoir, what an utter joy! Like a really great romp of a novel, a Hideous Kinky for Wales. I can think of at least ten people who must read it at once -- Ella Risbridger, author of MIDNIGHT CHICKEN
An entirely delicious memoir - as moving as it is funny and compulsive. You'll love these people, I guarantee it -- Tom Bullough
'A love letter to a remarkable childhood. To the music that shaped it and to the two people who watched over it. Enchanting and unique. A total joy' -- Sarah Winman
