Hey! Ho! Let's Go! It’s been 50 years since the first punk gig in Scotland so we’re throwing a suitably anarchic bash to celebrate. Grant McPhee gives us the lowdown via his oral history of Scottish punk, Caledonia Screaming. Then we’re thrilled to welcome a specially formed supergroup including legends Fay Fife (The Rezillos), Alex Fergusson (Alternative TV/Psychic TV), Ken McCluskey (The Bluebells), and James King (James King and the Lonewolves) for an electric performance! The house band for this evening features Douglas MacIntyre, Mick Slaven, Campbell Owens and Stuart Kidd. Chaired by Nicola Meighan.
