‘This is the world of the Fall. This is the Fall-shaped hole they punched in the wall.’ In their innovative book Excavate! The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall, musician and author, Bob Stanley, artist and author, Tessa Norton and their varied contributors explore Prestwich, repetition, politics, literature, class, amateurism, working men’s clubs, football and education alongside album artwork, gig posters and fan art. All the things that made The Fall ‘a dazzling city founded on speculative fiction, work ethics and northern architecture’.

Please note: This event will feature socially distanced seating in order to keep our audiences safe. When you book your seats, the box office will automatically make sure you have empty seats on either side of you. Masks are no longer mandatory under Government guidance but we know that this phase of reopening is worrying for some of our more vulnerable audience members, so we are asking everyone to consider wearing a face covering if they are in close proximity to others for a significant amount of time.
