Irvine Welsh & John Niven: St Andrew’s Book Festival, London, Nov 29, 8pm

I’m delighted to be heading down to my old London stomping ground as part of this year’s brilliant-looking St Andrew’s Book Festival - the line-up’s ace, and it’d be lovely to see you there!

I’ll be in conversation with thee devine Claire Mitchell and Zoë Venditozzi (How to Kill a Witch); wildlife superstar Gordon Buchanan, and this double-header of legends you see before you: Irvine Welsh and John Niven (Nov 29, 8pm, St Columba’s Church).

Here’s what the programme has to say: “Join Irvine Welsh and John Niven in conversation with Nicola Meighan for a live podcast recording of A Kick Up the Arts. Celebrating their latest novels, Welsh’s Men in Love and Niven’s The Fathers, this promises an unfiltered, provocative, and darkly funny dive into masculinity, family, and the messy truth of modern life. Expect laughs, sharp takes, literary fireworks and adult language.”

London! Let’s party. Come and join us. Tickets and more info here.
