Will Sergeant Discusses "Echoes - A Memoir Continued..."

Born and raised in a small council house in Melling, outside of Liverpool, Will Sergeant caught with raw honesty his early days in 2021’s Bunnymen: his mother leaving the family, his father damaged no doubt in ways we still don’t understand from World War Two, the demon drink skewering the lives of Will and his siblings. Despite a difficult start – and luckily for adolescent Will -- there was a chance visit to indie club Eric’s in Liverpool, which introduced him to the punk scene…and an alternative musical odyssey began.

When Echo & the Bunnymen hit the studio to record their ground-breaking debut Crocodiles, the album was the making of the band, and a cult following began to grow. In Echoes, Will recounts the band’s whirlwind rise to stardom, sharing never-before-told anecdotes, including playing sold-out-shows at Whiskey A Go Go and experiencing the iconic New York club scene, supplemented by photographs of the cultural, social and political scenes at the time. 

Will will be in conversation with Colin Fallows, Professor of Sound & Visual Arts at Liverpool John Moores University. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing. Books will be available to buy on the night.
