Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers
Friday, 5th August 2022
Trinity Church 9pm – 11pm
Ticket: £10.00
The Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers are the world’s greatest crime fiction superband. They have been murdering songs for fun since a memorable debut gig at the Edinburgh International Book Festival in 2017. The line-up is Val McDermid (vocals), Mark Billingham (guitar/vocals), Chris Brookmyre (guitar/vocals), Stuart Neville (guitar/vocals), Luca Veste (bass), and Doug Johnstone (drums/vocals). They’ve fought the law; they’ve watched the detectives; and they’ve been down in the tube station at midnight. They’ve played Glasgow, Belfast, Reykjavik, London, Toronto and Glastonbury (yes, Glastonbury) and now they’re about to rock in Rothesay.
