Great Glasgow charity gig this Saturday night

MacMillan Cancer Support is a great cause to back

We’re always up for hearing about charity gigs and after we put ours on in June, we know there’s a lot of hard work and effort that goes into arranging these gigs. This means we like to pass on news about any good gigs and if they are for a great cause, all the better.

Causes don’t come much better than MacMillan Cancer Support so we hope the night is a huge success. Its on Saturday 17th July, its being held in Olivers at 20 Drumchapel Road, doors are 8pm and it’s only a fiver to get in.

Many people would be happy to pay a fiver for such a great cause but hey, there’s a recession on so it’s only natural to want to know what you will get for your money. So here’s a bit of blurb about the acts and how to find out more about them. We think you’ll agree, the value for money for your fiver is looking good already!

The organiser of the event is also the first act on the bill, so if you want to hear some music from the man who has put everything together, check out John Condron’s soundcloud site.

We’ve also got a picture of John so you know who to look out for if you want to give him kudos for the evening…but don’t buy him a pint, that would just encourage him!

Also, thanks to Tony Clerkson for use of the photograph, you can check out more of his work here.

Mark McGowan is then up next and he will be swiftly followed by Dominic Manning from Zemitones, and you can hear some of his stuff here.

After that, folky favourites Rose Parade will be taking to the stage and we like what we’ve heard of them. They’ve got a fairly laid-back sound with ‘Grace’ having a great shuffling rhythm which we’re looking forward to hearing on the night.

If you want to check out their sounds, you can hear more here.

Closing the night off with a few covers to ensure everyone leaves in the party spirit are Too Many Vices and again, you can check the gang out here.

In addition to all that, John has said there will be a few local artists jumping in for a song and two and there are going to be magicians wandering around between sets, so its sounding like a hell of a night.

At the moment, there are tickets left but with the venue having a limited capacity, its looking like its going to be a rammed night.

The venue is Olivers, 20 Dumbarton Road so if you are free on Saturday night, get yourself along and have a great night out with some local talent. And its all for a fantastic cause.

So you can have a great night out and be doing some good…not bad for a Saturday evening.
