Kate Mossman is a writer, presenter and broadcaster who has been writing extensively about music and musicians since she started her career working with Mark Ellen and David Hepworth at Word magazine in 2008. She is the writer and presenter of BBC4 documentaries Girl in A Band (2016), When Pop Ruled My Life (2015) and The Women Who Wrote Rock for Radio 4. She currently writes for Guardian, Observer and is arts editor for the New Statesman. She lives in London. Men of a Certain Age is Kate's long-anticipated debut book.
'Kate invariably notices something about her chosen subjects that 99 per cent of writers, who have been covering them for decades, miss entirely. This collection of her encounters with music's lifers abounds with such observations, proving once more that the thing we really want to do with rock stars is get close and have a damned good look at them' -- David Hepworth
