Irvine Welsh is anything but forgotten. Although it is quite possible that he appeals to a less bookish audience compared to other authors.

I've worked with him several times in the last few years & he has consistantly brought-in some of the biggest audiences at any of the literarry events we stage.

You should have tried to get sponsors from manufacturers of mouthwash, or ear-plugs.

After the time we got Mars to sponsor some lectures on energy, I think that might be a bad idea.

It took a very long time to dispose of the 4-figure quantity of free Mars Bars that they sent us & I never want to see one again. Burrp!
