30 Years of Trainspotting with Irvine Welsh

This show will contain references to substance abuse.

Irvine Welsh returns to WoWFEST for a no-holds-barred celebration of 30 years of Trainspotting. Three decades on, after selling over a million copies in the UK alone and being translated into more than 30 languages, we're revisiting Welsh's iconic novel and cast of outcasts – Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie. Trainspotting transformed fiction and still packs a punch greater than most other novels today. Join WoW to talk all things Trainspotting and more, including Irvine's latest book, The Long Knives, with one of the most influential writers of our time.
