Author event: Danny Scott at Sutton-in-Ashfield Library

Join us to hear Danny Scott share stories from his remarkable memoir. There was a time when Danny felt like the undisputed King of Selston – but deep down he knew the real King was coal. In his vivid and funny memoir, Danny recalls growing up in the Nottinghamshire mining village of Selston in the 1970s. Evoking resilience, humour and the changing fortunes of a proud community, The Undisputed King of Selston shines a light on a way of life that shaped both a village and an era.

Danny Scott grew up in Selston, serving his apprenticeship as an engineer on leaving school, before moving to London in the 1980s. After a job in counter espionage, he became a private investigator, then a painter and decorator, then an engineer again, before becoming a journalist and interviewing people like Sir Paul McCartney, Mikhail Gorbachev, Usain Bolt and Dave Hill from Slade. He lives in Essex with his wife and their young son.
