Edinburgh’s Beta Band had the world at their feet, with Hollywood’s seal of approval through the film version of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, and praise from Noel Gallagher and Radiohead. Then it all fell apart in a blaze of self-indulgence, wrong decisions, and mental health crises. Two decades on, and with the band on tour once more, charismatic frontman Steve Mason chats about his memoir Failure is Always an Option, telling a glorious rock-underdog tale. Chaired by Nicola Meighan.
