The Jesus and Mary Chain in conversation with Ben Thompson

Ahead of their Far Out Stage headline slot, William and Jim Reid joined their co-writer, critic and radio host Ben Thompson, to discuss their memoir Never Understood: The Story of the Jesus and Mary Chain. A wildly funny and improbably moving chronicle of brotherly strife, feedback, riots, drug and alcohol addiction, eternal outsiders and extreme shyness, it is the story of how the Reid Brothers travelled from their working-class East Kilbride roots to form one of Britain’s greatest guitar bands.
