Elaine C Smith: My Life in Books

This event will now be chaired by Alan Bissett.

Elaine C Smith is one of Scotland’s best-known performers. For over 30 years she has worked extensively in radio, television, film and theatre. She has written two books about her life and two hugely popular versions of ‘The Gruffalo’ – ‘The Glasgow Gruffalo’ and ‘The Glasgow Gruffalo’s Wean’. 

During her years as a singer, actress, writer, comedienne, raconteur, stand-up, campaigner, political activist, sister, wife, mother and granny, she has also been a lifetime prolific reader. Join Elaine in conversation with her friend and ours, Tidelines Patron Andrew O’Hagan, as she charts her life through the books she has loved.
