Join us for a Creative Cardiff sponsored event with Tiffany Murray, former Hay Festival Fiction Fellow, to celebrate the publication of her first memoir, My Family and Other Rock Stars. Tiff will be in conversation with Welsh poet and writer, Owen Sheers. Refreshments 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 in Monmouthshire. 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 friends 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.
Creative Industries Cluster Hubs stories: Monmouthshire
Cardiff University’s Centre for the Creative Economy has been working in partnership with Newport, Monmouthshire and Rhondda Cynon Taf local authorities on a new Creative Industries Cluster Hubs project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
The three pilot hubs have been working to drive investment and extend the benefits of Cardiff’s thriving creative industries across the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR). Find out more about the project.
This event is part of a series of events to celebrate the creativity of our three partner local authorities.
