Neu! Reekie! 36 / POETRY CLUB / GLASGOW
Brought to you by Michael Pedersen and Kevin Williamson Neu Reekie! is a fire-blazing feast of spoken word - film - animation and music fusions. Each night features two spoken word acts; two musical acts and a medley of curated short animations.

TOM LEONARD - JENNI FAGAN - THE JUST JOANS - FOUND (Lomond Campbell & River of Slime) - & MORE

FOUND
River of Slime & Lomond Campbell.
They met at art school. Don't they all? River of Slime, with his methodical patience and an obsession for the multilayered was perfect for printmaking. Lomond, an explosive yet tactile man with deft hands was best suited to the sculpture department. They wire up electronic musical devices of varying reliability and set in motion a dense, menacing sound that'll leave you wondering whether you should dance or dig out your collection of video nasties. Both Slime & Lomond have made a limited edition 12" vinyl coloured EP which will be available for the first time at Neu! Reekie! On Friday 19th July. It's the first music the two FOUND collective members have released since factorycraft, the critically acclaimed 2011 album on Chemikal Underground.

The List on River of Slime  'a toxic aural sludge'
The Herald on Lomond Campbell  'folk seducer'

In Glasgow, Tom Leonard joined a group of new and distinctive authors, including Alasdair Gray, Liz Lochhead, James Kelman, Aonghas MacNeacail and Jeff Torrington, of whom Hobsbaum was the nucleus. He has been part of the Scottish literary scene for the past forty plus years. With Alasdair Gray and James Kelman, he has been appointed Professor of Creative Writing at Glasgow University.

THE JUST JOANS
'If you mixed together Billy Bragg, the La's and the Proclaimers with a lot of cheek, you would have the Just Joans. They tell a story with each song on this album and in a good, rounded way without any hidden meanings'.
Penny Black Music

As all Scots know, there are two Scotlands. The first is a vision of a romantic, heather-clad glen, a landscape rich with mystery, but bereft of life but for the haunting strains of a lone piper wafting down from somewhere high on the hillside. The other Scotland is the sort of place that never makes it into VisitScotland's glossy brochures. This is the Scotland of the self-destructive, macho posturing of the self-loathing hard men. It's about the small-town, judgemental post-Calvinist, obsession with, and criticism of, your neighbours. That, my friends, is the Scotland which is soundtracked so beautifully and almost uniquely by The Just Joans."
