Neil DrysdaleCongratulations to Aberdeen’s Lesley Little for winning the Granite Noir writing competition with her psychological short story “The Risotto”. At school in Inverness, Lesley wanted to study English Literature at university, but was urged to choose something “more practical”. Now, the grandmother-of-four is making up for lost time! #GraniteNoir #Aberdeen #Inverness #LesleyLittle https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/entertainment/6699586/grandmother-of-four-lesley-little-from-inverness-wins-granite-noir-writing-competition-read-her-short-story-here/
It was a pleasure to be at David Suchet’s first visit to Aberdeen. He was wonderful as Salieri and gave an illuminating speech in explaining Shakespeare. But then he explained all the factors which turned him into Hercule Poirot! I loved it, and I spoke to Sir David and he was superb! #agathachristie #GraniteNoir #DavidSuchet
I had a great time talking to Sir David Suchet who is visiting Aberdeen next week for the first time in his life. He is performing in “Poirot and More” as part of Granite Noir on Tuesday Feb 20 and Wednesday Feb 21. It was a pleasure to hear about his initial reservations over taking the part and then falling in love with the little Belgian! #GraniteNoir #AberdeenPerformingArts #CrimeFiction https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6370349/david-suchet-poirot-more-aberdeen-granite-noir/
David Suchet: Star tells of famous role as Poirot ahead of first visit to Aberdeen for Granite Noir
The acclaimed actor whose Poirot and More show is part of Granite Noir, was the perfect person to bring Agatha Christie's Belgian detective to life, but has many more strings to his bow.
Author Stuart MacBride has attacked the “swamp of stupid” on social media and matters have definitely deteriorated since Musk got his hands on Twitter (I’m never calling it anything else). At least I can have a civilised discussion on Mastodon, even though I sometimes feel I’m talking to myself! #StuartMacBride #Aberdeen #GraniteNoir #ElonMusk #DeadofWinter https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/5329375/big-interview-stuart-macbride-new-book-social-media-rubbish-experts/
Happy birthday to Ann Cleeves, who has been a very generous interviewee, despite being very busy with “Shetland”, “Vera” and her new character, Matthew Venn. Unlike some crime writers, Ann eschews gory plots and serial killers in her books, which are filled with all-too-human characters. She’s a smashing human being! #AnnCleeves #Shetland #Vera #GraniteNoir #MatthewVenn https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/5730010/ann-cleeves-shetland-noir-fair-isle-crimes-most-memorable-sleuths/
