Adult Price: £36.50
As part of our series of Pre Festival events we are delighted to offer the opportunity to have supper at Loca Bar & Restaurant on the seafront at Felixstowe on Wednesday 6th May 6.30 for 7pm £36.50 per head for a two-course meal with Oggy, who will talk about his latest book The Istanbul Connection.
The Istanbul Connection is a gripping, morally complex thriller that explores the blurred lines between ideology and manipulation.
After decades spent chasing stories in places shaped by secrecy, corruption and conflict, the question that won’t go away and Oggy is most frequently asked is what really separates a foreign correspondent from a spy.
Oggy will talk about his book but also about the uneasy, often dangerous relationship between journalism and espionage.
Oggy’s own life reads at times like a political thriller. A dramatic escape from behind the Iron Curtain in Bulgaria in the mid-1980s; a rapid rise through the BBC World Service, Radio 4 and BBC TV; and a frontline role in almost every major conflict in the last thirty years, often as John Simpson’s producer.
Oggy is a former BBC journalist with more than three decades of reporting from conflict zones across the Middle East, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union. He has worked alongside John Simpson, the BBC’s World Affairs Editor, producing frontline television reports viewed by millions around the world.
