An evening with Richard Jobson, hosted by Ian Rankin as part of the Fifer Festival 2010.

A great evening of talks about Richards life, his struggles and achievements covering his early years growing up in Fife through to his current and most recent projects. Richard spoke about his love of poetry, sci-fi, comics including Spiderman and movies from an early age and of course his love of music and how he manages to achieve success in different areas of the entertainment and media industries.

Richard also spoke briefly of his work on a new project called Into The Valley a modern day take on his original thoughts on young kids given the "choice" to join the army. For anyone that could not attend this event there may be something available soon for your viewing pleasure as the whole weeks events were being filmed.

Richard started the conclusion of the evening with a rendition of Robert Burn's "Ae Fond Kiss" and was then joined on stage by Bruce and Jamie Watson for acoustic versions of The Saints Are Coming and Into The Valley.

The evening finished off with a showing of "The Journey" a short film made with Emma Thompson about the stark reality of sex trafficking.
