Viv Albertine with Ian Rankin (2015 Event)

‘You’re in for a hell of a ride now,’ says Viv Albertine in
Clothes, Music, Boys. And she’s dead right: with breathtaking
honesty, Albertine describes her wild and often shocking
experiences as a guitarist in the all-girl 1970s reggae-punk band
The Slits. Equally fascinating is her account of life after punk;
of motherhood, family and a return to music. She discusses her
rollercoaster story with crime writer and music fan Ian Rankin,
in an event recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book
Festival.
