Pamela Des Barres spent many of her younger years as a groupie, travelling the world in an effort to get close to, and spend time with, the rock ‘n’ roll stars of the moment. The following exchange of letters--between teenage her and a couple of friends--is from her 1987 memoir, I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie.

Louise Brealey and Claire Foy joined us to read these brilliant letters at Wilderness Festival, UK, in August 2023.
