Boasting an appearance by Rob Cowen, Vinyl Sessions presents Soundtrack of a Bestselling Book will see the award-winning writer reveal his musical influences and how he wrote his latest bestseller.
Taking place at Starling Independent Bar Cafe Kitchen on Wednesday, May 13, Rob will select his favourite tracks from legendary music acts that feature in The North Road book.
