Kevin Williamson took to the stage on Burns Night to perform an explosive version of The Bard’s epic poem Tam o’ Shanter, accompanied by Craig Lithgow (guitar) and David McFarlane (violin). Here it is in all its glory, 25 minutes of devilish cantraip intensity. Kevin reflects afterwards to Summerhall TV on the poem and the trio’s performance. (Fri 25th Jan, 2014)

This is the short film made by Julien Pearly shown at beginning of Neu! Reekie! #26 on St Andrew’s Night 2012. Kevin Williamson shows his dubious football skills prior to a comeback match for Scottish Writers FC against England Writers Team. (Note: Scottish Writers won 4-2)
Tam Dean Burn performs Bertolt Brecht’s 1929 crash era poem ‘The Late Lamented Fame Of The Giant City Of New York’ at The Poetry Club in Glasgow (on Thur 22 Nov 2012). Tam gives one of the truly great performances at any Neu! Reekie! event. Gershwin inspired music is by DJ Twitch.
Neu! Reekie! #26 is on Thurs 22 Nov 2012 at The Poetry Club in Glasgow’s SWG3 complex. Performing live are Scotland’s wonderful Makar Liz Lochhead, and the amazing Glasgow band Remember Remember.

We’re also celebrating Bertolt Brecht in song - with Leo Condie of The Low Miffs - and in poetry, film and music with actor Tam Dean Burn. An epic night awaits!
Scotland’s wonderful Makar, Liz Lochhead, on top form performing ‘Friends of Dorothy’ at Neu! Reekie! 18 - a poem she describes in her intro as a “piece of filth!” See for yourself. Liz, you are awesome!
Our first venture into Glasgow was a Neu! Reekie! special at Mono on Saturday 28th July 2012. The photo is of our first reader of the night; none other than Scotland’s greatest living author, Alasdair Gray. An honour and a privilege for us and a fantastical reading too.
