An Evening With Kim Hawes

Our first An Evening With event!!

The event is but advance tickets are required to help us plan seating

Kim will also be hosting our BANG event immediately after, ticketed separately.

Kim has worked in the music industry for over 4 decades with some of the biggest and baddest bands there are. She blagged her way into working merchandise for Elvis Costello which led to a job merchandising for Rush all around Europe. She spent 10 years sleeping underneath Lemmy from Motorhead….on a tour bus that is. She toured with Black Sabbath just as they unleashed Heaven & Hell on the world, worked with Hawkwind….do not ask about the soup! Had unusual drinks with Twisted Sister,  threw Madonna off stage, turned Courtney Love down, had to say no to Nelson Mandela, and had to deal with the aftermath of Chumbawumba drenching the deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and those are just a few of her stories.

Yes there are tales of Sex, Drugs & Rock’N’Roll, debauchery and fights, bags full of cash and Hells Angels….there’s even something thrown out of a hotel window, but Kim’s story is so so much more. 

Her memoir Lipstick & Leather is a rollercoaster ride of Rock’N’Roll anecdotes as well as showing the serious side of touring and the struggles that Kim faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry. If Kim heard ”But….. you’re a woman” once, she heard it a thousand times and yet still she refused to compromise. This is her story, warts ‘n’ all!
