Debora Kayembe, David McCrone & David Pollock: Talk of the Town

Every year, we celebrate the excitement and joy of Edinburgh’s festival season, yet the ‘Festival City’ has not been without its critics. Join arts writer David Pollock, author of The Edinburgh Festival: A Biography, leading sociologist David McCrone, author of Who Runs Edinburgh?, and Debora Kayembe, rector at The University of Edinburgh, for a fascinating discussion on the forces shaping the city's cultural power and status. Chaired by Catherine Salmond.
