The Big Midweek: Life Inside the Fall

The Big Midweek: Life Inside the Fall is the 2014 autobiography by the Irish-born, English rock bassist Steve Hanley, co-written with Olivia Piekarski and published by Route Publishing. Hanley was the long-term bass player and a core music writer in The Fall from 1979 to 1998, and is widely regarded for shaping the band's sound. With Peter Hook, Andy Rourke and Gary Mounfield, he is considered one of the most important bassists of his generation.

Despite his huge contribution to late 20th century alternative music, Hanley has shied from the limelight, and has been rarely interviewed. The book received acclaim for its "brilliant" writing, "juicy details", and dry humour.
