Would you like to join me for a coffee and a chat?
I will be at Waterstones, Piccadilly, London on the afternoon of Monday, 7th November and I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect with those of you, who are likely to be in the area. If you follow me on Twitter via @JimConnolly and would like to meet, let me know.
So, why am I back in London?
My friend; the inspirational, musical genius Nile Rodgers, will be doing a book signing at Waterstones in Piccadilly, London, on the evening of 7th November. Nile’s book, Le Freak (an upside down story of family, destiny and disco), chronicles his amazing story, the highs and the lows, from wayward teenager, to co-founder of one the bands that defined disco, Chic.
Meet Nile Rodgers
Having just completed Nile’s amazing book, I can not recommend it highly enough. If you would like to buy a copy and get it signed by Nile, just come along to Waterstones on 7th November at 7pm and join in the fun.
Regular readers will know that Nile is someone I have mentioned many times here on the blog. He’s a person I respect enormously, for his attitude, courage and his incredible ongoing list of achievements.
As well as achieving international chart success with Chic, through legendary tracks like Good Times, Le Freak and Dance, Dance, Dance, Nile found time to write We are Family for Sister Sledge and produce Madonna’s Like a Virgin album. Nile also produced David Bowie’s Let’s Dance album and wrote I’m Coming Out for Diana Ross, as well as producing tracks for; Mick Jagger, Duran Duran, Debbie Harry, INXS, The Thompson Twins, The B52’s and many, many more.
I will be at the signing, which starts at 7pm; so if you are coming along, please let me know via @JimConnolly on Twitter; it would be great to meet with as many of you as possible.
