16 shows, 21 days, 26 (plus) artists - that's the anywhere but the cities tour. Dewar's, Neu! Reekie! & FOUND take to the road with some of their finest guests making appearances. Swapping stories for whisky and visiting faces and places, the whole affair will be captured for broadcast and beyond.
ARTIST INFO:
LIZ LOCHHEAD:
Appointed Scots Makar the National Poet for Scotland in 2011, Liz Lochhead is both transgressive and popular; as Anne Varty wrote, 'her work is that of one woman speaking to many, and one person speaking for many'.

PANDA SU:
Having been awarded Best Scottish Newcomer (Jockrock Poll) 2010, Panda Su quickly found the appeal spreading beyond her adopted homeland. Her track Eric is Dead was the only track by a Scottish artist on the French release Fete de la Musique and was featured on the season 4 finale of cult TV show Skins.
FOUND:
BAFTA winning band and arts collective having released records through the mighty Fence Collective and Chemikal Underground. FOUND - Ziggy Campbell and Kev Sim - have been shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year and performed all of Europe, the US, China and Japan.
