To celebrate the release of his brand-new book Men in Love, Irvine Welsh returns to Leith for an unforgettable night of words, beats, and mischief.

After the official Q&A at PS&Gs Church (46 York Place), Irvine heads down to Leith Arches — where the real party kicks off.

Behind the decks:

The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra, featuring:

IRVINE WELSH

Carl Loben – DJ, producer, and long-time Editor-in-Chief of DJ Mag

Warm-up DJs:

Edinburgh’s own Soul Subbo and Ricardo get the party started from 8PM with a killer mix of disco, funk, and soulful sounds.
