SUMMARY:Liverpool ONE: Waterstones: Talk and Book Launch by Mike Badger
DESCRIPTION:An Evening With Founding Member of The La's Mike Badger\nWaters
 tones\, 12 College Lane\, Liverpool\, L1 3DL. Thursday 19 November 2015\, 
 18.30\n\n£3. (£2 for Loyalty Card holders)\n\nMike Badger was the founde
 r of the now legendary Liverpool guitar band The La's. Written with music 
 journalist Tim Peacock\, The Rhythm &amp\; The Tide looks at the perfect s
 torm that brought together some of the most talented musicians Liverpool h
 ad\, and how one creative force had the drive to tie it together.\n\nLiver
 pool in the 1980s. With prospects for the city's youth bleak\, a scheme fo
 r unemployed musicians commenced\, inadvertently shaping the future for me
 mbers of Cast\, Space\, the Lightning Seeds and giving fresh impetus to th
 e idea of song as a saviour for the city.\n\nForemost of the bands to emer
 ge from this ill-fated scheme was The La's. Inspired by a chance meeting w
 ith Captain Beefheart\, Mike Badger formed the band with the enigmatic Lee
  Mavers.\n\nFirst they conquered the city\, and then on the brink of hitti
 ng the big time\, and eventually inspiring what would become Britpop.\n\nB
 adger quit to form Americana pioneers The Onset\, find international recog
 nition as a sculptor\, produce album art and videos for some of the countr
 y's biggest bands\, before finally co-founding Liverpool's Viper record la
 bel (which has recently released its 100th album).\n\nFeaturing everyone f
 rom Arthur Lee to Frank Sidebottom\, Jonathan Richman to Half Man Half Bis
 cuit\, and above all with new insights into the early years of the great l
 ost Liverpool band The La's\, The Rhythm and the Tide is both the personal
  story of a restlessly creative individual\, and a reflection on the ebb a
 nd flow of the music scene in the city that he loves.\n\nFurther details o
