Meet the QCS: william Clegg & Thomas Grant

I’ll be discussing legal matters on June 5th with William Clegg QC, author of the riveting memoir Under the Wig and Tom Grant QC, author of Court Number One, about the Old Bailey’s most notorious trials.

Tom Grant will be discussing some of the most infamous defendants of the twentieth century including Ruth Ellis, Jeremy Thorpe and Ian Huntley.

William Clegg has fought some of the biggest murder trials in Britain. He will be talking about some of his most intriguing trials, from the acquittal of Colin Stagg to the shooting of Jill Dando, to the man given a life sentence because of an ear print. He will also touch on his unusual route to becoming a QC and how our right to a fair trial is now at risk.

Celebrating Lee Miller

A habitué of the smoky cabarets, opium dens and Surrealist parties of 1930s Paris, Lee Miller was one of the most beautiful and fascinating women of the twentieth century. 

Whitney Scharer has brought Miller’s story to life in her electric debut novel, The Age of Light. After starting her career as a fashion model, Lee Miller came to occupy a unique position in the avant-garde of the inter-war years. She worked, and had an affair, with the photographer Man Ray before becoming an acclaimed war photographer and one of the first people to photograph the concentration camp at Dachau when it was liberated.

I will be joining Whitney Scharer to discuss her dazzling new novel about Miller as well as the fascination she continues to exert, and her role in the often-macho Surrealist movement
