Glasgow Cabaret Festival – Seven Great Reasons To Get Involved

Okay, here’s the thing. Last month I wrote a post about crowd source funding that led very smoothly into mention of an ongoing funding for a project that is very very dear to my heart: the Glasgow Cabaret Festival. Perhaps I was a little too subtle. Perhaps most people switched off at the mention of crowd […]

The sights these eyes have seen

It’s August, which means the Edinburgh Fringe. Which means I’m knackered. de Saw and Finkle have been taking Planet Fringe a little more seriously this year, getting involved with the really wonderful cabaret culture now so prevalent amidst the thousands of options for bewildered, footsore punters in need of a damned good show but unable […]

Making it happen

For my money, crowd funding is one of the things that makes the internet great. In the arts it is increasingly difficult to secure traditional sources of funding for projects – arts council grants are ever more squeezed and sponsors want to be assured of a return on any investment – but to get an […]

Great Gatsby

Really looking forward to the launch this coming Friday of The Gatsby Club, a 1920’s themed club night featuring a great variety line-up that will include the return of Markee de Saw and Bert Finkle. Really looking forward to it. Well, it’s either that or watch the reruns of the royal wedding again.

Busy, busy, busy

So, I’ve been doing a lot of stuff lately, and I’m going to be doing a lot more stuff over the next wee while. If anyone’s in the area for any of these and fancies a night of pretty varied entertainment, please, please, please drop in and say hi. Feb 23rd, 8pm (TONIGHT!) : The […]

Various Variety

Being, in the main, a round-up of random stuff from the last week. It’s been one of those weeks. Life is so a Cabaret – spent the weekend in London watching various varieties of cabaret performance. Most especially lovely to see Miss Leggy Pee taking her unique brand of charming on the road to such […]
