The Colonsay Book Festival has announced the line-up for its 2019 programme, writes Martin Laing.
The award-winning writers and authors appearing at the ‘wee gem of a festival on a jewel of an island’ on April 27 and 28 next year are confirmed as Ann Cleeves, Robin Crawford, Jen Hadfield, Clare Hunter, Sarah Maine, and James and Tom Morton. Further programme details will be released in late January, but tickets for what promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking weekend are on sale now.
Richard Irvine, co-director of the event, said: ‘As an island festival, we’re delighted this year to have such a strong focus on writing “from the edge”.
