NEU! REEKIE! Two Heads Are Better Than One: A Double Birthday Celebration For Robert Burns & Paul Reekie.

Post a full swing of it in 2011, Michael Pedersen and Kevin Williamson are coming back to you with a bang for 2012.

This first show brings a double celebration - we're paying homage to Scotland's most lauded bard Rabbie Burns, whilst serving as a 50th Birthday celebration for the late (yet still unmimicable) Paul Reekie!

- - LINE-UP --

KEVIN WILLIAMSON doing choice chapters from his hit Festival show 'Robert Burns: not in my name' with films by ALASTAIR COOK.

Video footage of the late PAUL REEKIE himself performing and raconteuring - a sight fur sair eyes.

THAT PLUS...........A SELECTION OF MYSTERY MUSICAL GUESTS - THEY'RE THAT GOOD THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ANNOUNCE THEM UNTIL THEY'RE ON!

We're also very excited to have Poetry Scotland represented by Sally Evans as our pop-up bookstore/endorsed publication - http://www.poetryscotland.co.uk/ - we can’t think of anyone more fitting.

Drinks will, as ever, be priced at the flirtatiously low level of £2 a pop - that's that an ASBO aphrodisiac. And since it's a Burns celebration we'll be sure there's some sort of whisky twist in tow.

Our punchy barman Pete will be back with his dexterously constructed prize for our Raffle of the Absurd.

House band Emelle will also be back with a picnic of Burns favourites - glazed with their unquashable gypsy-folk.

Back in the saddle baby! See you there!
