FORMER Prime Minister Gordon Brown is to take the spotlight for the Outwith Festival's first annual culture interview.

Mr Brown is set to discuss the books that have inspired him, the music he has enjoyed, the film and television that have entertained him and the football that has done all three.

Comedian and actor, Arabella Weir, who is currently starring in Two Doors Down, will join the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education and former Chancellor for an hour of informal conversation in the Dunfermline Carnegie Library and Galleries.

Arabella is an actress, author and presenter. She is best known as one of the stars of the award winning The Fast Show, which enjoyed five series on BBC2.

Her numerous television credits include Two Doors Down which was recently commissioned for a fifth series by BBC2. Arabella’s other television credits include Pure, Drifters, Doctor Who, Skins, Taking Over the Asylum, and Traffik.

The event is on Thursday September 7 from 6pm until 7.15pm and tickets, which cost £10 plus booking fee, are available from https://outwithfestival.co.uk.

The Outwith Festival will take place from September 6 until September 10 with a range of events throughout the city.
