For author Tim Bell this is personal, bringing up a young family in Leith with it all going on around him. He got caught up in the literature and has been doing Trainspotting tours, interpreting the book on location for locals, tourists, aficionados and academics, for 15 years.

This is a very important week for us, folks. We kicked off Independent Venue Week on Monday. This is our third year supporting this amazing festival and it’s the week to recognise what all of our small independent venues bring to music in our towns and cities. It’s time to celebrate the spirit of independence and the cultural importance of live music.
Horribly, this all happens against the backdrop of our fight to save our own independent venue.
We meet for the hearing at the City Chambers this Wednesday 30th at 12:30pm, we will put our case to 11 elected councillors who ultimately will make the final decision.
We hope the planning committee will make the right decision and represent and respect local democracy. (Meeting at Leith Depot at 11am so if you need a lift, DM us).
