Saturday Night: Skiffle, Rawk and Eclecticism
by admin • October 10, 2009 • music • 1 Comment
Yeah, you’re moaning about the rain now but by 7pm or so you’ll be looking for something to do, so here are a couple of picks for tonight:
It doesn’t get more old-school than skiffle, and The Lonnie Donegan Band sees the legend’s son take to the mic with his dad’s original backing band. A wee bit of UK musical history. (Lemon Tree, 7.30pm)
The Saturday gigs at The Moorings are always good for a bit of debauchery, and this week Samurai Fury and Falling Red play as part of an unashamed Rock (capital ‘R’ fully intended) night. Which is exactly what the venue was made for. (8pm)
Lastly, DJs Twitch and Wilkes take their famed Glasgow clubnight Optimo north for a potentially messy, guaranteed loud (there’s a huge soundsystem being installed as we speak) night at The Forum (11pm). Expect genre-hopping a-plenty; it’s pointless trying to predict what those two will have in their record boxes…
Full line-ups, prices (and plenty other stuff on round town tonight if none of the above take your fancy) are, as always, in our listings

great… optimo again…. love them, but surely there is more to life?
