Back in December we brought you news of the full music line-up for the inaugural edition of the Forever Now Festival. Now we can reveal details of the line-up for its intimate literary stage, the Echo Chamber, which will feature conversations with some of the most influential figures in post-punk, gothic rock, and new wave.
Hosted by acclaimed journalist, musician, and author John Robb, the Echo Chamber will delve into the artistry, movement, and culture through in-depth discussions with renowned artists, going behind the scenes to reveal their stories.
Guests will include Rat Scabies, legendary drummer of The Damned; Martha Davis, renowned frontwoman of The Motels; The Chameleons’ frontman Mark Burgess; American actress and vocalist of Berlin, Terri Nunn; Kirk Brandon and Stan Stammers of British post-punk band Theatre of Hate; and Scottish musician Richard Jobson of The Skids and The Armoury Show.
John Robb said: “I’m looking forward to going head to head with some of the key bands at Forever Now to get to the core of who they are and what they do and why they are here at Forever Now!”
John won’t be the only one asking the questions. Fans can also get involved in the Echo Chamber community by submitting their own to be answered. If you want to put yours forward, you can submit it now by messaging the Forever Now Facebook page (Forever Now Festival UK).
