Since 2019 we’ve added a literary salon to the festival. It takes place in the amazing Hôtel de la Cité on Sunday afternoon. Andrew loved books and had been asked to be the first artist in residence for Faber & Faber a few years ago.
He became friends with Lee Brackstone at Faber’s and asked Lee if he would be interested in inviting writers to present their books at Convenanza. That’s how it started. Famous Glaswegian writer David Keenan was our first guest and he was so good that he’s now joined Lee as co-host.
Lee started publishing books under his own imprint « White Rabbit books » and has published the best books about music in the last few years. The literary salon is becoming more and more popular every year.
Tickets for that event will be available soon.
