Irvine Welsh
Steve Mac
Carl Loben
Irvine Welsh heads to The Poetry Club on Friday 25 July 2025, to celebrate the launch of his new novel Men In Love.
The blazing new Trainspotting sequel dives headfirst into rave culture and raw romance. To celebrate the release, and its official sonic companion album, Irvine Welsh himself will be behind the decks for a special DJ set, joined by Steve Mac and Carl Loben.
This event is strictly 18+. We accept two forms of ID: a driver's licence (either full or provisional), or a passport (this must be valid and in-date).
