Join us at Nowra Library for this special performance and author talk!
A winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction, and the WA Premier’s Literature Award, author and musician Dave Warner’s creative career spans fifty years. Dave and his guitarist, Tony Durant, met in London in 1976 before working on Dave Warner’s from the Suburbs’ gold album ‘Mugs Game’. Dave has written stage musicals, TV screenplays (McLeod’s Daughters, Packed to the Rafters & more), feature movies and over twenty-five books, of which fifteen are crime fiction novels. Guitarist Tony is acknowledged in Europe as one of the originators of `'psychedelic folk' through his band Fuchsia.
Dave will give an autobiographical spin on where the inspiration of his various books comes from, how the characters evolve, and how his literary and musical works inform one another. He’ll also read from his most recent crime novel `'When It Rains’ and give you a sneak preview of his new book '`Double Exxxpresso'. Interspersing this entertaining chat Tony and Dave will play a number of songs that resonate with the discussion.
Dave will be selling copies of his books and merchandise at the event. If you would like to support him by purchasing any items, please bring cash.
