Ray Davies in conversation with Luke Skywalker!

Ray Davies will be joined by life-long Kinks fan Mark Hamill at an event to coincide with the release of The Kinks’ albums, Everybody’s In Showbiz and Muswell Hillbillies.

Billed as ‘an evening of conversation’, the event takes place on June 26 at Hornsey Town Hall.

Davies will also perform some select songs from the two albums alongside his long-time guitarist Bill Shanley, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Hamill – best known as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films – will also read excerpts from Davies’s memoir Americana.

Hamill recently interviewed Davies for Big Issue magazine.

Everybody’s In Showbiz and Muswell Hillbillies will be reissued as a deluxe edition on June 3rd via Sony Legacy.
