To celebrate the publication of his memoir (The Drums) detailing his life being the drummer of the iconic, influential band The Smiths, Mike Joyce will be heading out for a series of special events, to share an open-hearted story of what it was like to play the drums in the band.
Joined at each show by a special guest interviewer, Mike will reflect on his time with the band through the eyes of a passionate, loving observer, as well as being a trusted and irreverent chronicler of those five astonishing years when he was the backbone of one of the greatest groups of all time. There will also be a rare opportunity for audience members to put their questions to Mike.
The evening includes an interview, audience Q&A, and book signing.
Mike Joyce is an esteemed English drummer who has played with Sinead O’Connor, Public Image Ltd, Buzzcocks, Suede, Julian Cope, Pete Wylie and, most recently, has been occupying the drum seat with Peter Doherty, as well as being a member of The Smiths for the entire duration of the lifetime of the band. Mike also has a successful DJ career playing clubs worldwide.
