Finishing with folk flair 💫
@ShawDonald and friends feature in our Last Night at the Hub this August. Expect Scottish folk and toe-tapping vibes. A barnstormer of a finale awaits you.

This repugnant individual is a creature of the English media. They have platformed and promoted him for years and will do so with renewed vigour now that he is heading for Downing Street. Now’s the day and now’s the hour, Scotland, to get out before fascism takes control.

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
Bafta and Oscar winning : BEST DOCUMENTARY.

Huge privilege to read “The Lazy Mist” written by Robert Burns in 1788 @ccfest to a beautiful accompaniment from @DuncanWChisholm and @ShawDonald at the Kelvingrove Burns Night. An amazing experience to hear such fantastic musicians celebrating the work of our National Bard.
