Bernie Taupin - Scattershot

Bernie Taupin is half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music; the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, the man who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions of records worldwide. Together they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics such as 2019's Rocketman and even John's own autobiography, Me. But Taupin, a famously private person, has kept his own account of their adventures close to his chest, until now.

From late, late nights with John Lennon, Bob Marley and Frank Sinatra; to memorable encounters with writers like Graham Greene, painters like Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, and scores of notable misfits, miscreants, eccentrics and geniuses, this is a unique opportunity to hear the vivid memories and imaginings of one of music’s most legendary lyricists.

Taupin will be in conversation with broadcasting legend, Paul Gambaccini.

A copy of the memoir is included in the ticket price and will be available for collection on the night.
