***HOLLIE MCNISH - spoken word***
***MICHAEL PEDERSEN - spoken word***
***DAVIE MILLER (FINITRIBE) - DJ***

Hollie McNish loves writing poems. She has published four poetry collections, a play about football and won the 2017 Ted Hughes Award for new writing, which she was really excited about. Her poems receive millions of online views and she was the first poet to record an album at Abbey Road Studio. Her fans include Kate Tempest and Caroline Lucas, and, in the Twitter world, Pink and Davina McCall. Hollie's book, Nobody Told Me, has been translated into French, Spanish and German - she has yet to read in Germany for the launch of this publication. https://www.facebook.com/holliepoetry/

Michael Pedersen has performed aw over the globe and counts among his fans Irvine Welsh, Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church & his mum. Michael is a Canongate Future 40, has won the Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship and The John Mathers Trust Rising Star Award. He is co-founder of literary production house Neu! Reekie!, publishes with Polygon Books and his recent collection Oyster, illustrated by Frightened Rabbit, is doing rather well. https://www.birlinn.co.uk/Michael-Pedersen/
