Nile Rodgers: The Man Who Brought Us Disco

He may be best known for the disco hit Le Freak but Nile Rodgers’ influence on pop music has been so very much greater than that. Rodgers wrote and produced classics such as 'Like a Virgin' for Madonna, 'We Are Family' for Sister Sledge and David Bowie’s bestselling album Let’s Dance. He’s worked with Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Prince and Debbie Harry; he’s jammed with Jimi and dined out with Diana. Rodgers is a brilliant storyteller and in this event he recounts the joy and pain of a life at the heart of the pop industry. Part of Edinburgh International Book Festival
