Stuart Murdoch & David Keenan with Vic Galloway
Enter a world of
songs and stories as we chat to Scottish writers who are passionate about
music alongside musicians who’ve also written books.
Best known as lead singer-songwriter for Glasgow-formed Belle and
Sebastian, Stuart Murdoch has been a mainstay of the Scottish music scene for
decades. Now turning his hand to novel writing, Nobody’s Empire narrates the
tale of a young musician trying to make it whilst living with chronic fatigue
syndrome. A celebration of the magic that happens when ordinary people make
music together, Stuart shares his passion for storytelling and plays us a few
tunes.
David Keenan is the author of six critically acclaimed novels including the
cult classic, This is Memorial Device, and Dublin Literary Award shortlisted
Xstabeth. Volcanic Tongue is the first collection of his music writings from
the years he co-ran a Glasgow record shop of the same name, including
exclusive interviews with Nick Cave and others from the scene. David joins us
to share his passion for the revolutionary music of the 20th Century, and how
this connects to his writing.
Don’t miss this melodious discussion hosted by DJ and music broadcaster,
Vic Galloway.
