Richard Jobson, Rat Scabies and Kirk Brandon are among the headliners hitting The Echo Chamber – an intimate literary stage which is part of the Forever Now festival in Milton Keynes in June.
Hosted by journalist and musician 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!”
A key figure at the fore of the DIY punk scene of the late ‘70s, The Echo Chamber host and curator John Robb is renowned for his work both as a journalist and as bassist and singer of The Membranes. With his signature deep-dive interview style, The Echo Chamber promises to be a highlight of Forever Now Festival, offering rare, insightful, and unfiltered conversations with some of the most compelling voices in alternative music.
