An Evening with Fun Lovin' Crime Writers: Book List

Join us in the Great Hall at Nicolson Square Edinburgh for a night of excellent conversation with everyone’s favourite Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers! We’re packing our tote bags and venturing into the city for an evening event to hear all about what band members Mark Billingham, Chris Brookmyre, Doug Johnstone, Val McDermid, Stuart Neville and Luca Veste have been up to. Please note that this event will feature a conversation between the authors and it is not a live concert.

About Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers:

It started, like all good rock ‘n’ roll stories, at The House of Blues in New Orleans. It was Bouchercon 2016 and Stuart Neville, Mark Billingham and Doug Johnstone had downed a few beers. An open mic night was too tempting so, recruiting local writer Bill Loehfelm on drums, they bum rushed the show and played a few shambolic tunes. The seed of an idea was planted.

Fast forward a year and Stuart, Mark and Doug teamed up with crime-writing pals Val McDermid, Luca Veste and Chris Brookmyre to form the Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers, a full-on rawk experience, murdering songs for fun in front of anyone who will listen. They’ve since wowed and rocked crowds at book and music festivals up and down the country, including a 50-minute set at Glastonbury 2019, as well as abroad.
