Download Tom Newlands

Margins to Mainstream with Michael Sheen spotlights 11 new writers from under-represented backgrounds on a journey to reveal truths from the margins of society. In episode three, we meet Tom Newlands, a writer from Scotland now based in London. Tom's mentor, The Damned United and Red Riding trilogy author David Peace, tells how a word processor rescued from the Tokyo trash kickstarted a career which has seen him become one of Britain's greatest novelists of the 21st century. Eddi Reader, better known as singer with Fairground Attraction, performs Tom's work in front of a live audience at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
