O'JOY!

BIG SPECIAL

Big Special follow up two hugely successful albums in two years with this EP of b side tracks and songs that didn't quite make it to the album. Reworked to give them a fresher edge. This 10 track EP includes the excellent Lazarus, recent singles “Sluglife”, “Dragged Up A Hill …” and “Only Free When Sleeping”. “The Wake” features the line "Can you stop putting fags out in the quiche please" a poignant reflection of things lost and distant memories.

The Lemon Twigs - Glasgow QMU - 29 May

Rock from Long Island, New York

This isn’t the first time Queen Margaret Union has welcomed The Lemon Twigs to Glasgow and I hope it won’t be the last. This was my third time seeing the Twigs and I really mean it when I say that they just keep getting better.
