Maconie, Stuart (UK)

We welcome one of the UK’s favourite writers and broadcasters to the festival for the very first time. Stuart releases his new book, “WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THEIR FRIENDS: The story of the world’s biggest band” in June so will be chatting to Mark Lewisohn about this and much more.

Known for his radio broadcasting with the BBC, Stuart has released many books over the years, but this will be his first attempt at The Beatles, with Waterstones quoted as saying, “This is the most engaging, surprising and revealing look at the Beatles story you’ll read”. Bold words indeed!
