Cover Story - Steve Braunias - Marlborough Book Festival

Marlborough Book Festival: in conversation with Tania Miller - Whitehaven Room

The last time Steve Braunias attended the Marlborough Book Festival, he trawled through our op-shops seeking record covers that might reveal insights into New Zealand’s popular culture from 1957 to 1987, when the LP was king of recorded music. We like to think a few made their way to his latest book, 'Cover Story: 100 Beautiful, Strange and Frankly Incredible New Zealand LP Covers'. Steve discusses the interviews behind the book and his own experience collecting more than 800 albums. We will have the Vinyl in the Vines crew on deck for this special Friday night event.

The 2022 Marlborough Book Festival runs from 6.30pm Thursday 7 July through to 5pm Sunday 10 July with a range of author sessions on across at the weekend at the ASB Theatre, Blenheim and Spy Valley Wines. More info at the Marlborough Book Festival website.
