An eclectic night of poetry, spoken word and music with three of Scotland’s most dynamic and captivating creative talents.

Hollie McNish is a poet and author based between Glasgow and Cambridge. She was the first poet to record at Abbey Road Studios, London and won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry for her poetic parenting memoir – Nobody Told Me –  of which The Scotsman stated ‘the world needs this book’. She has published four further collections of poetry – Papers, Cherry Pie, Plum and Slug, which was a Sunday Times Bestseller and translated into French under the title Je souhaite seulement que tu fasses quelque chose de toi. Her new book Lobster, and other things I’m learning to love shot straight into the Sunday Times Bestsellers once again and saw her sell out the Hackney Empire on the launch tour. She loves writing.

Michael Pedersen is a prize-winning Scottish poet and author, and the Writer in Residence at Edinburgh University. His prose debut, Boy Friends, was published by Faber & Faber in 2022 to rave reviews – it was a Sunday Times Critics Choice and shortlisted for Best Non-Fiction at Scotland’s National Book Awards. The Cat Prince & Other Poems, his third collection, won the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Poetry 2023. Pedersen has also been shortlisted for the Forward Prizes for Poetry and won a Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship. His work has been praised by the likes of Stephen Fry, Sara Pascoe, Nicola Sturgeon, Irvine Welsh, Jackie Kay, Alan Cumming & many other fine minds.

Eugene Kelly is the frontman of internationally renowned Glasgow band, The Vaselines. The band were lauded by Kurt Cobain as ‘my favourite songwriters’ and saw Nirvana cover several of their songs to great acclaim – Eugene dueting with Kurt along the way. Touring and performing all over the globe with the likes of Belle and Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub, Nirvana, The Lemonheads and more, Eugene has also released a solo album, written for theatre and stage, and fronted other successful musical outfits including Eugenius (formerly, Captain America).
