Delighted that Val McDermid will join me to celebrate the paperback publication of her latest book, Queen Macbeth. We’ll chat about her life, and work - and she’ll also give us a virtual night of entertainment, discussing her choice of a Scottish album, film and book. Tickets here!
I’m in conversation with James Yorkston and Malachy Tallack, two hugely-loved songwriters and novelists, to explore ideas of music, writing, landscape, storytelling - the magic of all that - and there might even be.a few live tunes too. We’ll be recording this for a forthcoming episode of A Kick Up The Arts. Come and join us - tickets here!
On August 20th, singer, folk star, actor and icon Barbara Dickson reflects on her life and work on stage, and screen - and in music of course - as we spend a virtual afternoon together round at hers, with Barbara's choice of a Scottish album, film and book to keep us occupied: she'll tell us what they mean to her, and why... She might even throw in some imaginary snacks. (I bet you a tenner that stovies will feature; BD's are the stuff of legend.)
Come and hang out for lunch with us! Tickets here.
On August 23rd - singer, songwriter and Del Amitri frontman Justin Currie discusses his life, work, music - and new memoir, The Tremolo Diaries - as we spend a virtual afternoon together round at his, with Justin's choice of a Scottish album, film and book to keep us occupied: he'll tell us what they mean to him, and why... He might even throw in some imaginary snacks. (Justin once brought me a Danish pastry that may or may not have been half-eaten, so let's just say, expectations are high.)
Come hang out for lunch with us! Tickets here!
