Join us to celebrate the extraordinary life of one of Glasgow's greatest sons, trade union leader and political activist Jimmy Reid, with the launch of his posthumous autobiography.Compiled from fourteen years of conversations with journalist and close collaborator Brian McGeachan, Jimmy Reid: Walking with History captures the life of one of the most influential political voices of the twentieth century.

With a Foreword by Neil Kinnock and contributions from figures including Tony Benn and Billy Connolly, Walking with History is both an intimate personal narrative and a vital historical record of modern Britain.Biographer Brian McGeachan and Jimmy's daughter Eileen will be in conversation with actor and director David Hayman, discussing Jimmy's life and work, his lasting legacy, and the continued importance of his values in our troubled times.
