- **Event Description**: This will be my first ever event in Paisley! Excited!

"From the acclaimed author of Maggie & Me and host of The Big Scottish Book Club, Damian Barr, comes the true love story of two talented artists who moved to Glasgow from their native Ayrshire before navigating success in London’s art scene on the brink of wartime. A moving and heartfelt novel, The Two Roberts is a passionate evocation of the lives of Bobby MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun, whose great ambition and rapid rise to fame was marred by the ongoing secrecy surrounding their relationship. "

"Damian joins us in conversation with Glasgow-based Art Historian Susannah Thompson to tell their story and share how he continues to preserve these artists’ legacy through a new exhibition of the Roberts’ artwork."
