Ned's Atomic Dustbin's Jonn Penney and Rat in Wolverhampton show
Ned's Atomic Dustbin frontman Jonn Penney will perform a show in Wolverhampton as part of the city's Literature Festival.
He will be joined at the Slade Room event by fellow band member Rat, Ned's Atomic Dustbin's guitarist.
Entitled Jonn's Atomic Memoir Won't Write Itself, the show will see the pair perform 'newly interpreted acoustic versions' of their songs.

In between musical numbers, audience members are invited to ask questions which Jonn says he will answer with 'tales that will no doubt have a tenuous relationship with the truth'.
Talking ahead of the event, the Ned's frontman said: "I'm Jonn Penney, wordsmith and gobsmith for alternative rock beat combo Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
"I've done some stuff, seen some things, lived some life and almost survived to my 50th birthday.
"Now it's been suggested that I might want to write about the stuff and things and life for my kids to read in case they ever need to know.
"Trouble is I'm a bit busy living this life to find time to think about that life.
"Much of it is a blur. Lots of it I don't remember until you ask me. Some of it I'm scared I might've imagined.
"Also I'm a slacker and a procrastinator.
"So I had this idea. How about we all meet up so that you can help me to get my book started?"
The city centre event will take place on January 27.
Tickets to the show are now on sale, priced at £14.30.
Doors open at 8pm for an 8.45pm start.
