LIVERPOOL guitarist and member of Echo & the Bunnymen, Will Sergeant, is coming to Wirral to discuss his new memoir.

Sergeant is best known for his work as a songwriter and guitarist with Echo & The Bunnymen with whom he has recorded and performed world-wide for 30 years.

Echoes, is the follow-up memoir to Sunday Times bestseller, Bunnyman, from the legendary guitarist and will see him recount the band's whirlwind rise to stardom with his trademark wryness and intelligence.

Sergeant, 65, will detail “what it was really like to be part of one of the most influential and important British bands of the 1980s” in his new book, as per a press release and recount the band’s whirlwind rise to stardom with his “trademark wryness and intelligence.”

An official description read: “Sharing never-before-told anecdotes - including the heady Rockfield Studio sessions and touring across the US, playing sold-out shows at Whisky a Go Go and experiencing the iconic New York club scene from dusk ‘til dawn - and accompanied by snapshots of the cultural, social and political scene at the time, this is a memoir to remember.

Forming in Liverpool in 1978, Echo & the Bunnymen’s 1980 debut album, Crocodiles went into the top 20 of the UK Albums Chart. After releasing their second album Heaven Up Here in 1981, the band’s cult status was followed by mainstream success in the UK in 1983 when they scored a UK top ten hit with The Cutter and the album which the song came from, Porcupine, hit number two in the UK. Ocean Rain (1984), continued the band’s UK chart success with its lead single, The Killing Moon, entering into the top ten.

Disbanding in 1993, Sergeant reunited with frontman Ian McCulloch and bassist Les Pattinson in 1997, with the Bunnymen going on to experience further success with the Evergreen album and the top ten hit, Nothing Ever Lasts Forever.

Will Sergeant will be at Linghams Bookshop from 7pm on January 31.
