Ryan At Words Per Minute!

I’m super pleased to be brining my book, Tomorrow, We Will Live Here, to Glasgow for the first time! And I’m double thrilled to be on such a lovely bill with old friends and new. It should be a wonderful evening and will be your chance to grab a copy of my new book. Hope to see you there, Glasgow friends. x

Spoken word, live music, film and performance on a Sunday afternoon.

Performance from Kieran Hurley
Dark, sexy new stories from Kirsty Logan
