SUMMARY:Marco Pirroni - Your Money or Your Life Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Launch event for the long overdue autobiography from the renowned and much-loved Adam and the Ants songwriter and guitarist. \nIn the mid 1970’s\, Marco Pirroni was a shy Kings Road punk kid. He played guitar with a nascent Siouxsie and the Banshees at their debut 100 Club gig in 1976. Future Sex Pistol Sid Vicious could often be found round at Marco’s parents with a bag of laundry and a cup of tea. But as the early promise of punk rock’s cultural liberation quickly soured\, Marco’s dreams of proper pop stardom only grew. \nIn a few short years\, alongside an ambitious fellow punk survivor called Adam who was also looking to break out of the musical ghetto and onto Top of the Pops\, Marco became the musical architect of the global Antmusic phenomenon. By the time he was 21\, Marco was the co-writer of the two classic number one singles – ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver’ – alongside the million selling\, idiosyncratic new pop masterpiece ‘Kings of the Wild Frontier’ and its follow up album ‘Prince Charming’. \nYour Money or Your Life is Marco’s long-overdue and much-anticipated account of his time amidst the maelstrom of Antmania. It chronicles the breakneck period in Pirroni’s life which ends in March 1982\, when Adam and the Ants split up amongst heartbreak and acrimony. Revelatory\, caustically hilarious and with a cast of the biggest names in entertainment including Liberace\, Liza Minnelli and David Bowie\, Your Money or Your Life is one of the unforgettable music stories of the 1970s and 1980s. \nMarco will be in conversation with Alexis Petridis\, chief rock ‘n’ pop critic of The Guardian and long-time Adam and the Ants fan.

SUMMARY:Celebrating 50 Years at the 100 Club - Hosted by Marco Pirroni
DESCRIPTION:The second night of the 50th anniversary celebrations at the 100 Club continues by honouring the legacy of the original 100 Club Punk Festival\, bringing together artists whose music helped shape the future of punk and alternative music. \nSupport for the evening is TV Smith and The Bored Teenagers\, performing a special and exclusive Adverts ‘77 set that revisits the sharp songwriting and outsider spirit that made The Adverts one of punk’s most influential bands. TV Smith’s live performances remain celebrated for his intensity\, intelligence and emotional honesty\, capturing the atmosphere of punk at its most vital. \nHeadlining the night is John McKay’s Reactor\, led by the pioneering guitarist whose innovative playing with Siouxsie and the Banshees helped redefine the possibilities of post-punk guitar music. Atmospheric and hugely influential\, McKay’s sound became a blueprint for countless bands that followed. \nThe evening will be hosted by Marco Pirroni\, a member of the original Banshees line-up and a central figure in the early punk and post-punk scene. Throughout the night\, he will share memories and stories from a period that transformed British music and culture. \nSet against the backdrop of the historic 100 Club\, the second night celebrates not only the raw beginnings of punk\, but also the creativity\, experimentation and influence that continued long after 1976.

SUMMARY:Your Money or Your Life: Marco Pirroni in Conversation - Liverpool
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Marco Pirroni as he discusses his autobiography\, ‘Your Money or Your Life’. \nAs the 1980s ushered in a bright new pop future\, defiantly shrugging off the hostility and austerity of punk\, no band did more to sculpt and represent this flamboyant new musical landscape than Adam and the Ants. \nTheir music and image thundered across the charts\, our TV sets and bedroom walls\, searing into the imaginations of a generation. At the heart of Ant Music stood Marco Pirroni\, providing the powerhouse of sounds and songs behind their dazzling frontman\, both as lead guitarist and co-writer of all of the band’s classic material – including number one singles ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver’. \nMarco Pirroni played guitar with the first incarnation of Siouxsie and the Banshees and was in the line-up for their debut gig at the 100 Club in 1976 with future Sex Pistol Sid Vicious on drums. He was a lynchpin in the UK punk scene but it was alongside Adam Ant that Marco found untold fame and riches. \nFor the first time\, Marco tells his side of the story that has been long documented by others. The book covers Marco’s punk roots and focuses on the glory years of the Ants before their implosion in 1982. He talks frankly about his complicated relationship with Adam as well as friends and luminaries from the punk scene including Sid Vicious who was often found at Marco’s parents’ house enjoying a cup of tea and getting his washing done. \nLong regarded as an authoritative voice on the punk movement Marco now brings his wit and hard-won insights to deliver this brutally honest\, viciously funny and deeply affecting memoir. \nMarco Pirroni said: ‘Now is a good a time as any – with the 50th anniversary of that 100 Club punk festival looming – to get my story down on paper: from those initial fumblings around Malcolm and Vivienne’s shop as a very young teenager\, to playing with the Banshees\, and seeing those early Pistols gigs before they’d become a household name\, and finally to the huge success I had with Adam in the early ‘80s. The period covered in the book is roughly 1972-1982 and takes in glam/punk/New Romantic through to pop stardom and includes a cast of people who mattered in London throughout that period – better known to me as my friends. You could say I’ve never moved on from that decade but I never will\, and\, in a lot of ways\, I’m happy with that.’ \nCopies of Marco’s book will be available to purchase at the event from Linghams Bookstore and there’ll be a dedicated book signing after the talk. Marco is in conversation with former musician turned award-winning and bestselling author\, Daniel Rachel. \nMarco Pirroni is a songwriter\, guitarist and producer. \nHe teamed up with a little-known punk outfit – Adam and the Ants – in 1980 and within a year the band was on the brink of worldwide acclaim. An integral part of the band\, Marco acted as lead guitarist and co-songwriter\, penning five number one singles and a further four top ten hits\, with Adam. The two albums he co-wrote for Adam and the Ants – Kings of The Wild Frontier and Prince Charming – both went to number one. When the Ants disbanded in 1983\, Marco remained as Adam’s co-writer and musical director\, starting straight off with a number one single (Goody Two Shoes) and album (Friend or Foe)\, followed by nine more top twenty hits. Goody Two Shoes gave Marco his third Ivor Novello award\, having picked up two already for Stand and Deliver. Marco’s work with Adam left an indelible commercial and creative stamp across the eighties and pop music in general. They sold more than six million records worldwide\, scoring number ones in Australia\, Germany\, Greece\, Sweden\, Israel\, Japan and the UK. \nDaniel Rachel is a former musician turned award-winning and bestselling author. His previous books include Too Much Too Young: Rude Boys\, Racism and the Soundtrack of a Generation (aTimes\, Uncut\, Rough Trade US and Resident Musicbook of the year) and Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters (a Guardian and NME book of the year). He lives in London. \nPlease note museum galleries are closed during special events.
