About The Event
We are delighted that , following her band's appearance at The Piper in St Leonards on Friday night (tickets available here), Miki Berenyi will be coming to the book festival to talk about her recently published autobiography, Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me from Success.
Miki came to public prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s as a guitarist and vocalist with the band Lush.
Ethereal vocals and dreamy soundscapes vied with hard hitting songs, as the band rose to international success via Glastonbury, Japan and the USA.
The band folded in 1996 and Miki went onto a career in publishing.
Music remained large in her life though, with occasional guest vocals on albums, then a much-lauded Lush reunion in 2015 and 2016.
Miki then formed the band Piroshka with other iconic 1990s musicians.
