Happy (belated) book birthday to these two legends. #Brickwork A Biography of #TheArches just turned one year old! 🎂⁠

Super proud of that book. A story that needed to be told, and done so with skill and love by @kirstin.innes and @bratchy_1. ⁠

The #sale continues over at salamanderstreet.com.⁠
⁠
Pick up #Brickwork A Biography of #TheArches by @kirstin.innes and David Bratchpiece for just £8.99.⁠
⁠
Nightclub, theatre, creative hub, party place, and one of the most important venues in Scotland, Britain and Europe: for almost 25 years, The Arches was the beating heart of Glasgow.⁠
⁠
For the first time, the people who made the venue get to tell their story. Piecing together accounts from directors, DJs, performers, clubbers, artists, bar tenders, actors, audiences and staff, Brickwork writes the biography of a space that was always more than its bricks and mortar.

Unfortunately some IT upgrade problems @foylesforbooks⁠

Copies ordered direct from us will be dispatched same day and come signed. Email mason@salamanderstreet.com for more info on your order.

Happy publication day to 'I am ill with hope' by @gommie_poem. ⁠
⁠
Just before Christmas 2021 I got a call from @jdsrowland, who wanted to introduce me to his friend, a poet-artist who'd been looking for a publisher for his work. ⁠
⁠
Flash forward and the first book is published, with book No.2 on the way. ⁠
⁠
I'm so proud of this gorgeous work and can't wait to raise a glass to it later at @hoxtonbooks. ⁠
⁠
Copies sold through the website come signed by the author with a free postcard too!⁠

Happy publication day to The Story Behind... I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die by @wheellerplays & Annette Hulme + @dsmfoundation. ⁠
⁠
This poignant and eminently readable biography of the play is drawn from interviews with Dan’s family, friends and the OYT company.⁠
⁠
The book offers a unique and fulsome guide for teaching/studying this play and includes a detailed scheme of work for teachers using the play as a set text in the GCSE Drama examination.

#Brickwork A Biography of The Arches is on tonight at Glasgow's Aye Write Festival (@ayewriteglasgow). ⁠
⁠
Nightclub, theatre, creative hub, party place, The Arches was one of the most important venues in Scotland.⁠
⁠
Two former employees, novelist @kirstin.innes (Scabby Queen, Fishnet) and comedian and actor David Bratchpiece have collaborated on this definitive book in which the people who made the venue get to tell their story. Piecing together accounts from directors, DJs, performers, clubbers, artists, bar tenders, actors, audiences and staff, Brickwork writes the biography of a space that was always more than its bricks and mortar.⁠
⁠
They're joined by Arches founder Andy Arnold for what should be a fascinating conversation. There's tunes too. ⁠
