Description

John Tusa's remarkable career in the arts and broadcasting spans almost sixty years, marked by fierce advocacy for independence, public funding, and academic integrity. From his role in creating Newsnight to defending the BBC World Service against political interference, Tusa recounts his experiences with candour.

In Making a Noise, he shares candid recollections of two years of internal conflict at the BBC under Chairman 'Dukey' Hussey, as well as humorous anecdotes from his time as head of a Cambridge college. The book also covers his tenure at the Barbican Centre, where he led its recovery into the major cultural institution it is today.

Based on personal diaries and reflecting on a lifetime of high-profile battles, Making a Noise offers a fearless and entertaining memoir of life at the top of the arts and broadcasting world.
