Marlborough Litfest

Sathnam Sanghera returns to LitFest in 2026 to talk about his new book, Tonight the Music Seems so Loud: The Meaning of George Michael, an in-depth portrait of one of Britain’s best-loved musicians, a songwriter whose talent was perhaps only fully acknowledged after his death. Guiding us through George Michael’s complex personal story – his music, life and legacy – Sanghera explores issues of fame, sexuality, identity, immigration and belonging. Tonight the Music Seems so Loud captures one of Britain’s greatest artists in all his glory. Sanghera is an award-winning author and journalist, whose books include Empireland, Stolen History, The Boy with the Topknot and Marriage Material. Sathnam Sanghera will be in conversation with writer and interviewer Rebecca Fletcher.
