Not too shabby a line up for our joint 2018 Xmas bash with the always cool & amazing publishers at 404ink. Yes, that is Margaret Atwood, Bill Drummond, Loki the Scottish rapper, Stina from Honeyblood, & the rest. Only happens in Edinburgh, folks.
Dear Neu! Reekie! Snowblinders
We’re all excited and looking forward to Friday night’s extravaganza but we’ve had some unexpected news. Charlotte Church let us know yesterday she’s deeply sorry but will have to pull out of our event due to a serious family emergency. It’s a circumstance beyond anyone could have anticipated and our thoughts are with Charlotte and her family right now and we’re sending much love from Edinburgh.
The show goes on. We’ve rejigged it and jazzed it up and spoken to some of the other artists on the bill who have been amazing and responded by agreeing to doing something a little bit extra and special we hadn’t originally scheduled. Plus we’ve added another very special surprise musical guest who we know you’ll love and who we’ll unfurl on the night.
We’ll open the doors (and bar) at 6pm with hot mulled Buckfast for the early birds. From 6pm we’ll create a bespoke cinema in the main auditorium where you’re welcome to hang out with beverages and watch some far out films and animations most of which haven’t been screened at Neu! Reekie! before. Plus the effervescent She-Bang getting the party tunes started in Room 2.
So once again, apologies from Charlotte and ourselves and a promise from us and all the other artists appearing - Irvine Welsh, Aidan Moffat, Scott Hutchison, Bill Drummond, Emme Woods, She-Bang, Hollie McNish, Leyla Josephine, William Letford, Kayus Bankole, Iona Lee, Alan Gillis, Kevin Cadwallender - we’ll do everything to make your xmas night out a bit special.
See you on Friday night
Kevin & Michael xx
16 Nov 2017: Our first collaboration with the Poetry Translation Centre featuring Kurdish-Turkish poet Bejan Matur, with English translations read by TS Eliot Prize winning poet Jen Hadfield. Music by Polish-born composer Ela Orleans plus Clackmannanshire’s very own Emme Woods.
Talking It Over podcast discusses our SMHAF show up in Dundee on 21st October 2017, which featured poet Jenni Fagan; rapper Darren Loki McGarvey; singer-songwriter Craig Lithgow; plus Kevin Williamson & KIXX Collective performing a raucous racy version of Tam o’ Shanter.
Tuesday 9th June 2015 at Tollcross Central Hall: 1,000 people. This was the hottest, sweatiest & one of the most memorable of all our Neu! Reekie! shows. Young Fathers headlined and totally blitzed the place. Andrew Weatherhall DJ-ed with panache. Finitribe did their bouncy lab coat thang. Hollie McNish and Dave Hook (Stanley Odd) did spoken word sets. Oh, what a night! (It lasted for days...)

Where Are We Now. A few highlights from our Hull festival in June 2017 but also a mission statement.
Where Are We Now? A communique from Young Fathers. 25 May 2017.
'Jeremy Bernard Corbyn: What Was Done' - a film by Bonnie Prince Bob which had its World Premiere at Neu! Reekie! (28 Apr 2017)
Forty Darkest Thoughts: a film specially made by the artist Bill Drummond for our ‘Where Are We Now’ event at St Andrew’s Church in Easter Road on 28th Apr 2017. This was our last event prior to our Where Are We Now Festival (2-4 June) which is part of Hull 2017 UK City of Culture. Bill Drummond introduced the film, from the pulpit, in between polishing shoes.
Now THAT is a Festival. Curated and organised by Neu! Reekie! and coming to the City of Hull 2-4 June 2017. Dinnae miss.
March 2014. Neu! Reekie! went to New York City. There was a wee nip in the air...
First of a series of self-questioning previews asking Where Are We Now?
1000 folk came along to our Celts show at the National Museum of Scotland on Fri 22 Sep 2016 featuring Charlotte Church & Her Pop Dungeon, Ette, Lomond Campbell, Loki & Beci Wallace, Liz Lochhead, Lyre and BARK Collective. Here’s a flavour of what went down.
Where Are We Now will be a mini-Neu! Reekie! Festival in Hull 2nd-4th June 2017 as part of the Hull City of Culture year. Headlining our Friday night show will be the explosive talents of SAY & Mercury Music Prize winners Young Fathers.
This short film gives Hull a taste of what’s coming their way by looking back at that incredible hot summer’s evening in June 2015 when 1000+ of you saw Dave Hook, Hollie McNish, Finitribe, Andrew Weatherhall and Young Fathers blow our minds at Edinburgh’s Tollcross Central Hall.
What a night!
Sultans of schwing. A bit of cultural appropriation by the Neu! Reekie! boys at a sultan's palace in Medan, Indonesia. This photo will probably haunt us forever. (NOV, 2016)
