The Epic Saturday Night Gig & Disco
The Epic Saturday Night Gig & Disco
Exactly as it says on the banner – an epic gig that turns into an epic disco.
This event will feature short live sets from two of Scotland’s most exciting musical artists and then one of the UK’s most cherished DJs. The music comes from Louis Abbott – lead singer of Scottish indie legends Admiral Fallow, who recently celebrated 20 years of making music with a huge gig at the notorious Glasgow Barrowlands; and Limonead – the award-winning Scottish Gaelic hip-hop sensation, taking Scotland’s socials and stages by storm. Behind the decks is the marvel that is Gemma Cariney (DJ & author) – known for her extraordinary shows on BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio 6 and her new weekly show on Virgin Radio. Think non-stop dancefloor fillers. Not only that, this event is in collaboration with local heroes Peas n’Loaf.
