Hollie McNish with Michael Pedersen
After a run of sold out gigs up and down the UK, Hollie is back with her paperback tour as she chats and reads from her latest paperback Lobster and other things I'm learning to love, plus a selection of firm favourites from Slug and Nobody Told Me.
Here, she will be joined by Michael Pedersen for the Liverpool launch of his brand new debut novel Muckle Flugga. Expect strong language and adult content, gift-wrapped in gorgeously crafted poetry.

“Uncommonly romantic, irreverent and, at times, laugh out loud funny”
