For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke once again to Jess Orr, the Associate Programmer for the Paisley Book Festival, to learn all about this year's programme - and what a programme it is.
Jess explains this year's theme 'The Lives We Live' as well as breaking down the various strands of the festival which include 'Life's Fundamentals', 'The Writer’s Playlist', and 'Poet's Corner' before the two go into details about just some of the individual events across the four days. They also touch on the Schools Programme, the Workshops, and Family Day.
It's a thorough and enthusiastic conversation which really whets the appetite for what's to come. In its six-year lifespan Paisley Book Festival has quickly become a highlight of Scotland's cultural calendar, with events being held in the beautiful venues of Paisley Town Hall and Paisley Central Library. We hope to see you there...
