Fun Lovin Crime Writers are back!

THE FUN LOVIN’ CRIME WRITERS

VAL McDERMID, CHRIS BROOKMYRE, MARK BILLINGHAM
LUCA VESTE, DOUG JOHNSTONE, STUART NEVILLE

Having temporarily put down their pens and picked up guitars, this crime-writing super-group happily murder much-loved songs by The Clash, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, The Beatles, Talking Heads, The Jam, Johnny Cash and many others who are currently considering legal action. They’ve played roof-raising shows at festivals across the UK as well as in Iceland and Canada and in 2019 and 2024 they performed at the Glastonbury Festival.

If toe-tapping tales of blood and badness are your thing, you cannot afford to miss this amazing band of best-sellers.

Murder on the dancefloor is guaranteed…
