About the Author

Nick Cave has been performing music for more than forty years and is best known as the songwriter and lead singer of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, whose latest album, Ghosteen, was widely received as their best work ever. Cave’s body of work also covers a wider range of media and modes of expression including film-score composition, ceramic sculpture and writing of novels. Over the last few years his Red Hand Files website and 'Conversation with’ live events have seen Cave exploring deeper and more direct relationships with his fans.

Sean O’Hagan has interviewed many major artists, writers and musicians over the last four decades. He currently works as a feature writer for the Observer and is photography critic for the Guardian.
