Led by presenter, James Naughtie, the writer John Niven speaks to Radio 4's Bookclub programme about his 2008 novel, Kill Your Friends, which is a darkly comic satire of the UK music industry, as told through the perspective of the sadistic, Steven Stelfox, an A&R executive (Artists and Repertoire) for a London record label. The year is 1997, the height of the Britpop era, and Stelfox has his eyes on promotion. This recording takes place in the 麻豆社 Scotland studios in Glasgow, Pacific Quay. Producer: Dominic Howell Editor: Gillian Wheelan It was a 麻豆社 Audio Scotland production.
