True tales of the Tour de France: Carlton Kirby in Conversation

We are delighted to welcome Eurosport’s lead cycling commentator Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, to Brighton, for an evening of tall tales and frank opinions from his 25 years’ covering the sport.

In a funny and revealing evening for all cycling fans, Carlton will be sharing his front-row experiences from the Tour de France and other big races – plus the lessons he’s learned from life on the road, as a bon viveur in budget hotels across Europe.

Carlton Kirby has been in the commentary box for a golden age of British cycling and the evening will also include stories of his not-always-happy dealings with British stars from Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome to Mark Cavendish.

Carlton will be in conversation with former Procycling magazine writer Duncan Steer.
Carlton will be also be signing copies of his recent book ‘Magic Spanner: The World of Cycling According to Carlton Kirby’.

This is a chance to see one of TV’s most entertaining commentators and raconteurs in an intimate venue. We expect this event to sell out so do please book early to avoid disappointment.

The first 40 Early Bird tickets are £12 (inc booking fee), or £20 including a copy of Magic Spanner. After that, tickets are £14 (including booking fee) or £22 with a book.
