Peter Hain has a rich political history, as Leader of the House of Commons from 2003 to 2005 to Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 2005 to 2007.

However he has also received over 16 author and editior credits, his most recent being a biography of Nelson Mandela.

Hain spent the majority of his childhood in South Africa during a time when the Apartheid regime (a system of racial segregation) was becoming ever more prominent on South African society. He therefore became highly involved in the movement of opposition to the Apartheid regime with the influence of his passionate parents who were jailed, banned and forced into exile to Britain in 1966.

The struggle his parents suffered has a massive impact on Hain, becoming involved in politics to take up the fight against injustice. Following his arrival into Britain he become involved in anti-Apartheid protests resulting in his position as chairman of the Stop The Seventy Tour Campaign which effectively used non-violent direct action to isolate white South Africa from international sport.

An Audience with Peter Hain guarantees to be a night of very interesting conversations.
