Description

In this special event, Ricky Tomlinson opens up about the remarkable journey that shaped him-long before his rise to television fame.

Ricky begins by reflecting on his early life in Liverpool: a childhood of working-class grit, humour, and resilience. He shares vivid stories of the city that raised him, the jobs that shaped his outlook, and the strong community spirit that forged his character. From his formative years as a plasterer to becoming an active trade unionist, Ricky speaks candidly about the political convictions that led him to stand up for workers’ rights-passionately, loudly, and at great personal cost. His moving account of the 1970s building workers’ strike and the trials that followed reveals the depth of his principles, as well as the lifelong impact of those turbulent years.
