Meet Joan Armatrading
Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to meet Joan Armatrading at Waterstones Sauchiehall Street as she signs copies The Weakness In Me, a unique volume of the lyrics of Joan.
About Meet Joan Armatrading
Since the release of her debut album Whatever's For Us in 1972, Joan Armatrading has, across a fifty-year career, traversed styles and genres to create a monumental body of work. Acknowledged as the first British female singer-songwriter to gain international success, her writing is alive with intelligence and empathy and paints the human experience with insight and emotion.
Selected and arranged by the author, and featuring a foreword by revered record producer Glyn Johns, The Weakness In Me presents the lyrics of Armatrading for the first time in one unique volume. It also contains an introduction by Armatrading alongside annotations to a number of songs, giving a rare, personal glimpse into the creative process of a true pioneer.
Tickets £15, includes entry for one person and a copy of The Weakness In Me, to collect at the event (incl. booking fees)
