John Byrne (2011 event)
Painter and set designer, playwright and novelist, John Byrne is one of Scotland’s great polymaths. Best known for his plays the Slab Boys Trilogy and Tutti Frutti, Byrne has also designed record sleeves for Donovan and The Beatles. We were thrilled to welcome him to the Book Festival in 2011 to discuss his written work with Jackie McGlone - it proved to be an electrifying and unforgettable hour of entertainment and you can listen to the lie recording of it here.
