Can't wait for our next record club!

Join us back at the American Library next week for Record Club, listening to Stevie Wonder's album 'Talking Book' released in 1972.

"It wasn't so much that I wanted to say anything except where I wanted to just express various many things that I felt—the political point of view that I have, the social point of view that I have, the passions, emotion and love that I felt, compassion, the fun of love that I felt, the whole thing in the beginning with a joyful love and then the pain of love." Stevie Wonder talking to NPR

🗓 Wednesday 25 February, 5.30pm
📍American Library - Memorial to the 2nd Air Division, USAAF at the Millennium Library

Record Club is free to attend, all are welcome and there’s no need to book in advance. Find out more: https://reelconnections.co.uk/record-club/
