'Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan, the Band, and the Basement Tapes' tells for the first time the whole story of the Basement Tapes, recorded in summer 1967 when Bob Dylan's career was at a crossroads. Recovering from a mysterious motorcycle crash, he gathered together a few musician friends in Woodstock, New York, and informally recorded a bunch of songs intended to be heard by no one but themselves. Instead, they changed music forever.

On the evening of Wednesday March 19th former Long Ryder, Gram Parsons and Bob Dylan biographer Sid Griffin discusses his new book Million Dollar Bash, the most comprehensive exploration of Dylan's now legendary Basement Tapes.

The event is taking place at Waterstones on Gower Street between 6.30pm and 8pm.
