Men in Love launch with Irvine Welsh

There wasn’t an album they wouldn’t buy, or a drug they wouldn’t try.
Then it spiralled out of control . . .
They were left with nothing.
Nothing but the eternal quest of all men: the search for love.

Opening in the late 1980s as rave culture is born and moving into the 1990s, Men In Love reunites the Trainspotting crew for a riotous new journey.

Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie leave heroin behind and seek joy, and the hope of redemption, on the dance floor. Each wants to feel alive in the closing years of Thatcher’s Britain, and they fill their days with sex and romance and trying to get ahead. Taking in Edinburgh, London, Amsterdam and Paris, the group charges towards an unexpected event: Sick Boy’s wedding day.

But is falling in love the answer, or just another doomed quest?

Thrilled to be hosting this event with one of the major British writers of the past 30 years. Catch up with the characters from Trainspotting as they move into the rave era. Irvine will be in conversation with Dave Cridge.

The Bristolian born DJ/Producer that has been a pivotal key in the UKs music scene, from supporting The Prodigy to DJing at the iconic raves like Universe and Fantasia, and taking the Trip Hop Bristol sound worldwide with Ninja Tunes, Up Bustle & Out, Cridge has lived and breathed the culture and is a very big fan of Irvine Welsh's work from day one.
