Book Week Scotland kicks off on Monday 14th November and Nil by Mouth will once again be joining in the celebrations by hosting an event featuring Daniel Gray and Peter Ross.
Daniel Gray will be in conversation with Peter Ross at Irvine Meadow football stadium.
Our dynamic duo will join members of the Irvine Meadow Wednesday Club on the 17th
November to discuss Daniel’s love of football and Peter’s keen interest and sharp observations around how places shape us.
The Irvine Meadow Wednesday Club meet every week and brings together local football
fans to share stories and experiences about the beautiful game. Speakers this year have
included Archie MacPherson and Rose Reilly.
This week will see the release of Daniel Gray’s latest book ‘The Silence of the Stands’ which
sees the Yorkshireman explore the impact of Covid restrictions on the game and the fans
who bring it to life. Peter Ross is a critically acclaimed journalist and author with a unique
gift for seeing the world through kinder eyes. His next book ‘Steeple Chasing’ will be
published in May 2023.
