Pens, paper, Paul Smith, Peter Brewis and Aidan Moffat

Mary Anne gets literary with musician and writer Aidan Moffat, Peter Brewis from Field Music, Paul Smith from Maximo Park and others as part of 6 Music Celebrates Libraries.

Get your pen and scrap paper at the ready because Mary Anne is getting literary with some genuine UK indie heroes.

Chapter one: Arab Strap musician, journalist and children's author Aidan Moffat teaches us all how to write better. Whether you're a serious writer, an amateur enthusiast, or you have forgotten how to use a pen altogether, this will be a simple, useful and vital lesson for all.

Chapter two: Peter Brewis from Field Music and Paul Smith from Max茂mo Park explain why we should all be carrying a notebook around with us, all day every day. Their fabulous new collaborative record ('Frozen By Sight') is based on years of journal entries and doodles by Mr. Smith.

Chapter three: There will be cameo guest appearances from Patti Smith, Donovan, and more. They will be giving tips and tricks on how to be more skilful with the pen.

Postscript: Mary Anne will be playing some of the best literature inspired music around (from the likes of Broadcast, Magnetic Fields, Stephen Malkmus, etc).

This programme is part of the glorious 6 Music Celebrates Libraries season ...
