Rough Trade Denmark Street is very excited to present an in conversation event and signing from Debsey Wykes (Dolly Mixture) with Will Hodgkinson. This unique event celebrates the publication of her evocative, bittersweet memoir, 'Teenage Daydream: We Are the Girls who Play in a Band' (published by New Modern). Debsey Wykes was a singer, bassist and founding member of trailblazing all-girl post punk band, Dolly Mixture, alongside her school friends, Rachel Bor and Hester Smith. Championed by John Peel the girls were soon playing regularly in London where they attracted lots of attention from the music press and toured extensively for the next few years both as headliners and as support for groups including Dexy’s Midnight Runners, The Undertones, The Beat, Bad Manners and The Jam. 'Teenage Daydream' tells a story of how this close-knit trio of skint girls took their bedroom dreams and fuelled by punk’s DIY energy, imagination and a deep longing, created a world with real magic.

Tickets for this event also include a physical copy of the fantastic new book to be collected from Rough Trade Denmark Street on the day of the event.
