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:Marco Pirroni in conversation - Louder Than Words Festival\, Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Join MARCO PIRRONI – lead guitarist & co-songwriter of ADAM & THE ANTS – in conversation\, focused on his long awaited autobiography. \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. \nCopies of Marco’s book will be available to purchase at the Festival and there’ll be a dedicated book signing after his event.
