The Smiths - The Story Behind the Band, the Music and the Masterpiece 'The Queen is Dead'

Music enthusiast Michael, a quizmaster, DJ and music nerd, tells the story of The Smiths from beginning to end with his personal perspective on the band's brief existence. He was there from the start of their career and takes you through it based on 'The Queen is Dead', including insights into Morrissey's both dark and humorous lyrics.

A central part of the evening is a track-by-track walkthrough of 'The Queen is Dead', with some history behind each song. The album turned 40 years old on June 16 this year and is described as what Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were for the 1960s, and The Dark Side of the Moon and Sex Pistols' debut album were for the 1970s - in other words, a defining album for its decade.
