Dave Rowntree (Blur): No One You Know Book Tour and DJ Set

Spend an evening with Dave Rowntree, drummer of Britpop icons Blur, as he reflects on the band’s early years through the lens of his debut photography book, No One You Know. In this special live conversation, Dave shares the stories behind a remarkable collection of candid images capturing Blur at the very start of their journey.

Taken on his Olympus OM-10, the photographs offer an unfiltered glimpse of life inside a young band on the cusp of global success. Expect honest reflections, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and a rare perspective on the moments that happened away from the spotlight, from long journeys and dressing room downtime to the creative energy that defined the era.

Best known for his work with Blur, Dave’s career also spans film and TV composition, animation, broadcasting and campaigning for artists’ rights, bringing a wide-ranging and thoughtful voice to the conversation.

Copies of No One You Know will be available to purchase at the event.
