A Tale of 2 Tone City

Come and celebrate with us one of Coventry city’s most iconic cultural stories.

As the Festival of Books draws to a close we have one final Tale to tell, a story that time will never forget, a tale that began with a special sound that hit Coventry's thriving music scene of the late 1970s.

A panel discussion exploring the people, music and legacy behind this iconic movement will be hosted by acclaimed author Daniel Rachel,
