I am so happy to see Ben's memoir coming out in hardback next month through Calon Books...

Details of launches here: https://linktr.ee/BENWILDSMITH
He's already made it onto Stewart Lee's Cultural List of 2025 and is a Folding Rock Top Pick for 2026.
Loads of lovely blurb quotes too... here's one:
‘This book is everything that a memoir should be: gripping, informative, moving, hilarious, a fascinating doorway into the fun and frozen wastes of being someone else, a glimpse into a life well and vividly lived. Laceratingly intelligent, fearlessly self-analytical, it is, in part, a sequence of joyous, if hard-won, awakenings, into rugby, politics, literature, addiction, adoption, music, Welshness, love of several kinds. All praise.’ – Niall Griffiths
I'm sure I'll see some of you at one or more of the events...
* I think the Llandeilo event is 26 April 2026... but TBC!
