Gigs, fundraisers ... and Angie’s party
Tonight, The Bungalow has a birthday party booked in.
The birthday girl is Angie McGuire, who is a regular at The Bungalow. On stage is her very good friend Tom Urie who will be spinning some discs. It is a ticket-only affair, so if your name isn’t on the list...
The wonderful Bobby Deans Big Band will be pounding out cool jazz, sensational swing and smooth tunes tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow night, local singersongwriter Stephen Henry and his family are having a charity night in aid of The Moira Fund.
The fund makes grants to individuals referred through official organisations, the police and Victim Support, and to those charities which care for families who have lost a loved one through murder or manslaughter.
Elaine C Smith is a patron and she said: “I know that through the hard work of Moira’s family and this fund that those going through the worst of times will find some respite and comfort.”
Doors open at 7pm. For tickets and to donate, please contact Stephen on Facebook.
Next Thursday’s Introducing Night has a fantastic line-up, starting with Leisureland, Bicycle Trip, Bad Year and Josiah. Pop down and enjoy what is current today and you might meet your new favourite band.
Doors are 7pm and tickets are £5/£3 student.
Last week, I made a bit of a mess. I told everyone Lemon Soul were on at Rocknrollas. I looked at the diary and got the wrong week! Sorry guys. So, on Sunday the Lemon Soul gang ARE at Rocknrollas. It’s pay at the door from 1pm. In support is DJ Gerry McGuire.
The Old Swan has Keeperlit in tonight starting at 7pm, then tomorrow afternoon Epic kick off at 4pm. On Sunday, the Northern Soul Club starts at 4pm and on Monday, Clyde are back to play a wide variety of Scottish tunes, rock favourites and pop classics.

Make your hump day (Wednesday) enjoyable and head on into The Keg for 8.30pm where host Johnny Barr will be kicking off the open mic. They tell me that rock, jazz, blues, obscure, comedy or yoyo’ing – it’s all welcome! (They’d love someone with killer yo-yo tricks!)
