Two Members of the Townshend Family

The University of West London is to present An Evening With Pete Townshend on October 10.

It is to celebrate the launch of Townshend's new teaching, learning, and exhibition space . . . and home to his synthesizers and instruments used from the seventies through today. 

The musician will offer reflections on his life, career, and technology. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., with Pete taking the stage at 7 p.m. Tickets cost 30 pounds.

Pete also has written the foreword to Hollywood Dream:. It is to be published by Thirdman Books on the first of October, and the author is Mark Ian Wilkerson. 

Thunderclap Newman was formed by Pete and Kim Lambert. The group's hit single, Something in the Air, was produced by The Who guitarist as well.

A hardcover limited edition can be pre-ordered, and includes a poster created by Josh Townshend. Josh, who is Pete's nephew, was a vocalist and guitar player in the final edition of Thunderclap Newman. 

More recently, Josh has designed album covers, tour posters, and merchandise. According to Righteous Art Design, the artist received a Clio award for his Pearl Jam design.
