John Robb will talk about his memoirs, his life and the rise and fall of the punk generation along with some tangents. In the latter half of the show, John will be joined by a very special guest.

John Robb is a punk rock institution: a musician, journalist, best-selling author, TV personality, and cultural gatekeeper. As the singer of post-punk mainstays The Membranes, he continues to create critically acclaimed music.

Beyond the stage, Robb is the founder of the influential Louder Than War website, coiner of the term "Britpop," and the first journalist to interview Nirvana. His acclaimed books, including The Art Of Darkness - the History Of Goth and the Oasis biography, are worldwide bestsellers. A dedicated eco-champion and founder of the Louder Than War festivals, Robb is a constant, boundary-pushing force in modern music and culture.
