* Santa Lucia – they’ve got a cello. What more do you want?
* My Granny’s Boyfriend - a top pop combo with many fine indie tunes and at least one decent haircut

Friday 30th April, from 8pm, Nice n Sleazy, Sauchiehall St
Pre- May Day Punky-Reggae Party
Dance the night away to some real reggae sounds from Mungo’s HiFi, and jump around to some good old punk rock music from Someone Playing Records.

Saturday 1st May, 1pm, Buchanan St Underground
Annual May Day street party
Glasgow's annual anti-capitalist street festival takes over the streets, with sound systems, performers and YOU. Celebrate ! Demonstrate ! Create !
