To celebrate the publication of Haruki Murakami’s Absolutely on Music, VINTAGE and Spiritland invites you to an afternoon of music and discussion at our venue in King’s Cross. On Sunday 13 November, a live edition of the VINTAGE Podcast will be recorded featuring James Rhodes, renowned concert pianist and author; Jeremy Warmsley, one half of the band Summer Camp; Suzanne Dean, Creative Director at VINTAGE and Murakami’s UK cover designer; John Mitchinson, Publisher at Unbound; Liz Foley, Murakami’s UK Publisher and Alex Clark, journalist and broadcaster. All will share their thoughts on Murakami, music and reading.

Between discussions, jazz collector and DJ Tony Higgins will play selections inspired by Murakami’s work on Spiritland’s audiophile sound system.
