The Edinburgh Makar/Poet Laureate, Michael Pedersen’s debut novel Muckle Flugga has been called “phenomenal” (The Scotsman) and “garishly alive” (The Guardian), as well as being an Observer Book of the Year and garnering praise from the likes of Stephen Fry, Irvine Welsh, Jackie Kay and Alan Cumming.
Now, join us for the paperback launch under the starry splendour of the Planetarium on what will be a truly unforgettable night of words and music.
Michael will be joined by folk-pop wonder Rachel Sermanni, and prize-winning poet Janette Ayachi as they conjure sounds of glister and gusto matched to stunning astral projections.
