Aye Write 2025: The Pen is Mightier: Edward Tudor Pole with Teddy Jamieson

Saturday 15 November, 2025, 7.45 p.m.

The Mitchell Library, Norh Street, Glasgow G3 7DN

Edward Tudor Pole takes to the Aye Write stage to discuss his autobiography, The Pen is Mightier.

In a series of amusing, nostalgic and sometimes outrageous stories, all told with candour and wit, Tudor Pole recounts his pre-punk youth, the time of Sid Vicious and The Clash, and fronting 80s band Tenpole Tudor. Following the group’s implosion, Tudor Pole entered the acting world, appearing in numerous films and plays, including Sid & Nancy and Absolute Beginners, cameo appearances in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, and a stint presenting The Crystal Maze.

The Pen is Mightier shares how a troubled start can lead to a happy ending. From punk rocker, hit songwriter, and top 10 pop star, to movie actor, TV presenter, and West End leading man, Tudor Pole writes a fast-paced and fascinating account of a life spent exploring every avenue of show business.
