An unbelievable lineup with Malcolm Middleton’s brand new band playing his forthcoming Human Don’t Be Angry album for the first time with some old classics from previous albums thrown in for good measure. Plus support from his fellow Arab Strap bandmate Aidan Moffat, joined by Bill Wells, following their 2011 album Everything’s Getting Older that topped many end of year polls and best of lists. Be very quick off the mark; Malcolm and Aidan’s Arab Strap reunion in November sold out in less than an hour. And who can rule out a few songs together here?

Has there ever been a better poetry lineup on the one billing? Doubtful; this extraordinary bill of three generations of Scottish poets is a must for anyone who is a fan of the verse. In association with the Scottish Poetry Library, we are delighted to bring together this stellar lineup. Tom Leonard is a legendary poet, activist and essayist; his works include Intimate Voices, which won the Scottish Book of The Year award while being banned in most libraries and the Scottish Poetry Book of The Year 2009 for Outside The Narrative. The multi-award winning Don Paterson has produced several stunning collections including Rain and Orpheus. He has also been head of Picador Poetry for over ten years. Billy Letford might be a newcomer to poetry but his reputation continues to grow and we promise, if you’ve not seen him yet, you’re missing out. His hotly anticipated debut collection is out on Carcanet in November.

We’re delighted to announce that the 2012 Margins Book & Music Festival will take place at The Arches in Glasgow.
The Arches is a multi-purpose arts venue in Argyle St, Glasgow. The Arches set out to respond to changing cultural interests, particularly amongst young people, in Glasgow and throughout Scotland. The Arches is perfectly suited to explore this type of work because it houses such a diverse range of cultural activity. As they enter their fifteenth year as a venue, they continue to break down entrenched notions of what an arts venue should be, making use of the cross-fertilisation between clubbing culture and visual art, live music and theatre audiences, while the café bar thrives as Central Glasgow’s top cultural hub, meeting place and hang-out.
The Margins Book & Music Festival runs 23rd-26th of February 2012.Tweet
