ENTRY- £5 all proceeds to the DEC Gaza Appeal


It gives me great pleasure to unveil a stonking line-up for this gig. All proceeds will be given to the DEC Gaza Appeal. Basically we have 5 of the best up-and-coming local acts Glasgow can offer.

so, that unbelievably good line-up in full detail-


PUNCH & THE APOSTLES- a seven-headed Klezmer-Jazz-Prog-Punk horn-laden odyssey into the darkest recesses of the Caledonian mind... this will be one of their first Glasgow gigs since retreating to a humble cottage in darkest Ayrshire in order to compose an hour-long cinematic epic... http://www.myspace.com/punchandtheapostles



SPARROW & THE WORKSHOP- rocking americana-tinged folk songs meet crunching rhythm workouts, shrieking banshee vocals and layers of fuzz, a feisty female-led rock band for the future. www.myspace.com/sparrowandtheworkshop



THE JOHN LANGAN BAND- whether it's stomping gipsy folk, all-night campfire reggae jams, tabletop accordion stomps, or being the most rocking busker in town, John Langan is the very definition of pure entertainment. He won the Danny Kyle Open Stage at Celtic Connections 2008, and with awesome fiddle and double bass accompanying his guitar-voice-stompbox combo tonight he is guaranteed to rock the house.

MIKE & SOLVEIG- Mike Hastings & Solvieg Askvik are a charming, intelligent and original guitar and fiddle duo playing highly original compositions in a off-beat folk style. Mike is one of the best fingerpicking folk guitarists currently to be seen in Glasgow, and his style is reminiscent of Bert Jansch or a young John Martyn, with the humour of The Incredible String Band and surreal spirit of Ivor Cutler thrown in for good measure. www.myspace.com/mikeandsolveig
