Dawinder says of the event:
‘I'm honoured to bring Jay Blades to Wolverhampton Literature Festival this year to talk about the story of his life in Making It. We'll be talking about the ups and downs of his life journey, ultimately leading to his success and becoming a much loved household name in the UK, following his TV work on Money for Nothing and The Repair Shop. As a fellow artist, born and raised in Wolverhampton who also struggled in the mainstream education system, I'm looking forward to discussing his journey with learning to read.’

‘We’re delighted to welcome Dawinder and Jay back to Light House. Our auditorium will make the perfect intimate setting for their In Conversation, which is bound to be fascinating addition to the literature festival line up.’
