SUMMARY:A Blether and a Bevvy with Luca Serra
DESCRIPTION:Luca Serra is a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award awardee. This is Home is his first novel.  \n“Writing ‘This Is Home’ has been a journey of fond reflection. It has given me the opportunity to share the fascinating stories of people I’ve met since moving to the UK. It has also allowed me to explore questions: what is home? And what does it mean to belong? This is Home is a constantly changing exploration of friendship\, belonging and what it means to forge your place in the world far away from home.” – Luca Serra

SUMMARY:Moby-Dick returns to Fife
DESCRIPTION:Whale-watching in the Forth meets Herman Melville\, the American author of Moby-Dick\, whose Fife ancestry is becoming better known. \nIn association with the Aberdour Cultural Association we are pleased to present an evening of whale talk\, music and discussion – where past\, present and future whale-related activities link arts and sciences across Fife – with citizen scientist Ronnie Mackie\, cultural historian and author Dr Tom Hubbard\, and sculptor Kenny Munro \nFrom Pictish carvings of dolphins and whales to contemporary artistic responses\, we can see how creativity relates to concerns about our relationship with the marine environment. \nIn recent years\, Kinghorn has become an international hub for whale-watching and this is inspiring many creative projects and inspiring a Public Art Literary Trail across Fife. Tonight’s panel will explore Fife’s international cultural connections\, with a short film about Melville’s visit to Scotland in 1856\, as well as an introduction to existing and planned projects\, and the chance for audience members to suggest future initiatives.

SUMMARY:A Blether and a Bevvy with Lucy Ribchester
DESCRIPTION:18th century Edinburgh’s Music Scene: from High Society to Murder Ballads \nJoin author and former Aberdour local Lucy Ribchester for a journey into the glittering and grisly world of 18th century Edinburgh\, the setting for her latest novel Murder Ballad. With a heady mix of camp and high drama\, the novel tells the story of a street ballad singer’s rise into high society\, and the notorious murder she sings of. \nDelve into the real life locations and historical figures who inspired the book. Learn about St Cecilia’s hall\, once home to the Edinburgh Musical Society\, where the famous castrato Tenducci performed\, and about the gory tradition of murder ballads and execution ballads\, sung and sold in the streets outside. \nLucy Ribchester was born in Edinburgh and grew up in Aberdour. She has written three historical novels\, The Hourglass Factory\, The Amber Shadows and Murder Ballad\, and two contemporary thrillers under the name Elle Connel. \nShe won a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award in 2013 and in 2015 The Hourglass Factory was nominated for the Historical Writers Association Debut Crown. Her short fiction has been shortlisted for the Costa Short Story Award and Manchester Fiction Prize. She is currently a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
