The event, a celebration of the book, Hungry Beat: The Scottish Pop Underground Movement, includes a performance by Restricted Code, and a panel discussion with guests including Robert Hodgens (aka Bobby Bluebell of The Bluebells), Alison Gourlay (of the Jazzateers) and Jacquie Bradley-Heeps (Sophisticated Boom Boom/The Hellfire Club).

Hungry Beat was written by Douglas MacIntyre, Grant McPhee and Neil Cooper to celebrate the cultural contribution made by Scottish independent music labels Fast Product and Postcard.

Douglas explains: “Bob Last, Hilary Morrison, Alan Horne and Edwyn Collins helped to create a confidence in being Scottish that had not existed in pop music, or the arts in general in Scotland.

“Their fierce independent spirit stamped a mark of quality on everything they achieved, as did their role in the emergence of regional independent labels and cultural agitators, such as Rough Trade, Factory and Zoo.

“Hungry Beat is an oral history of these labels and the Scottish post-punk period.”
