PAT KANE is a writer, musician, curator, consultant, activist and futurist, primarily based in Glasgow and London. He is the author of The Play Ethic (Macmillan, 2004), and has written for the Independent, the Sunday Times, the Guardian/Observer and Scotland’s Sunday Herald, of which he was a founding editor in 1999. Currently a columnist with The National, Pat is researching a new book on politics, creativity and the science of emotions.

The Play Ethic is also a creativity/innovation consultancy that has worked with organisations like Lego, BT, BBH, Nokia, Dentsu Aegis, the UK Cabinet Office and the UK, Scottish, Australian, South Korean and Mexican Governments, among many others. Pat keynotes globally on the power of play, creativity and innovation, in the last fifteen years speaking in Seoul, New York, Billund, Dublin, Washington, Istanbul, Dubrovnik, Budapest, Barcelona, Berlin and beyond.

Pat was the founding curator of Nesta’s FutureFest event – in his words, “A Glastonbury of the Future” – and recently was R&D consultant to Unboxed (previously known as Festival UK*2022). He is also co-initiator of the new political platform The Alternative UK, and runs a Substack here. And he is still one half of the 80s pop duo Hue And Cry.
