Words and music Ignite - Tuesday May 22nd

Three of the most exciting new voices from the world of music and books are coming together tomorrow night (TUESDAY) in Dundee, as part of the 'Ignite' festival.

Wayne Price is an outstanding short story writer. Recognised in numerous national and international awards, his haunting debut story collection Furnace has received widespread acclaim.

Elizabeth Reeder is originally from the US but has been based in Glasgow for over a decade. Elizabeth's extraordinary debut novel Ramshackle is a beautifully written story of loss and self-discovery set in her native Chicago, and follows fifteen year old Roe as she investigates her father's disappearance.

Music is provided by Grant Campbell, a singer-songwriter whose debut album Postcards from Nowhere was an Album of the Week in The Sunday Times. His latest album 'Expecting Great Things' was released in 2009.

The event will be followed by readings from the Creative Writing MLitt students, University of Dundee.

The event takes place at Braes, Perth Road (oppositie the University campus) on Tuesday May 22nd. Tickets are just £5 or £3 concessions and will be available on a first come, first served basis on the door of the venue from 7pm or by calling 01382 384413.
