Light-hearted look at crime writing in inaugural book festival
To be honest, I can't believe it's almost here. It seems like only yesterday that I shared a stage with Catriona MacPherson, Gillian Galbraith, Russel D McLean and the always wonderful Theresa Talbot (she paid me to say that).

The Crime Factor old boy band are getting back together, specially for Bloody Scotland. Neil Broadfoot, Gordon Brown, Mark Leggatt and I will be fielding questions from the audience on crime, crime writing and how to put the two together. There may even be cat jokes! We're appearing in a new venue to Scotland's top […]

The second date on the Four Blokes in Search of a Plot whistlestop tour sees us in Edinburgh. We're back in Blackwells bookstore, where we first appeared a couple of years ago under the old Crime Factor format. This time, though, we're presenting the new, let's put the show on right here format where we […]
The Four Blokes boy band (????) heads for the exotic island of Bute on Friday to bring their own brand of lunacy to the islanders. Neil Broadfoot, Gordon Brown, Mark Leggatt and Douglas Skelton be in the Museum - fitting, considering their age - from 7pm. As usual, it promises to be a fun-filled night, […]
A double bill of crime in the Theatre Royal, Dumfries, promises to be utterly mysterical!
The Four Blokes - Gordon Brown, Neil Broadfoot, Mark Leggatt and Douglas Skelton - are taking their hunt for that elusive plot to the Glasgow Southside Festival Fringe next month. They'll be in The Cellar on Thursday May 23. Give them a main character and a M**der weapon. Then watch them take it in turns […]
