I’m delighted to be part of the panel at this brilliant Govanhill Book Festival event in tribute to the legendary Billy McNeill. The tribute is part of the Govanhill International Festival and Carnival which runs from the 1st to the 11th of August.
Ticket information can be found here. All proceeds from the night go to Dementia Scotland.
Come along! August 10th, it’s taking place at the Queens Park Govanhill Parish Church.
Also featuring on the panel are broadcaster and writer Archie Macpherson and academic Jeanette Findlay. We’ll be alongside STV political editor and Celtic fan Bernard Ponsonby.
Please share the event and get as many people as possible along in memory of Cesar.
I’m a novelist and award-winning documentary filmmaker.
My debut novel, 'The Birds That Never Flew', was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize and longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize. 'Almost Then', my second novel, was published by Linen Press in April 2021.
I write, produce and direct documentary films and won Royal Television Society Scotland awards in 2015 with 'Jock Stein' and for 'Jim Baxter' in 2016. 'Jimmy Johnstone' was nominated for a bronze Torc for Excellence in 2017. My feature length documentary film 'Tommy Burns won a Royal Television Society award in 2019 and 'The Women Who Built Glasgow City' won the same award in 2021.
I made two children who are now making children too. That's the biggest achievement of all. I live in Glasgow, Scotland and Rathlin Island, Ireland.
