Sound Affects #8: Yushy, Kirsty Allison, Grace Healy

TICKETS: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/sound-affects/t-lnxlnjj
Sound Affects is a night of talks about music and subcultures, how sound affects us and how music changes the world. Hearing from writers, artists, superfans, photographers, filmmakers and everyday music obsessives, we dive into personal music stories, esoteric bands, fan communities, punk, pop, social change and much more.
Speakers:

Kirsty Allison is a journalist, author and musician. She began writing for Loaded, Elle, NME and Dazed as a teenager, and was quickly presenting on television and DJing around the world. Her cult debut novel, Psychomachia (set in 90s Shoreditch) was published by Wrecking Ball Press during Covid. She served as editor-in-chief of Ambit magazine 2020-2023, after starting the Sylvia Plath Fan Club nights in 2015 and Cold Lips press in 2016 whilst also working as an honorary professor and arts editor on DJ Mag. She records music as Vagrant Lovers.

Grace Healy is a writer, researcher and musician who specialises in punk and philosophy. In 2022 she completed a PhD entitled '"There is no authority but yourself": Tracing first-wave British punk philosophy, from Nietzsche to Rotten', which situates punk within the philosophy of Existentialism.
