THIS VERY FRI 6TH DEC, Civic House Party returns courtesy of our festive party starters , and featuring the finest rubagrub from Parveen's canteen. Lineup as follows: 

Boosterhooch

Hannah Read aka Boosterhooch is a DJ, producer and all-round Glasgow legend with impeccable taste and talent! As curator and organiser of Events Research Program, she has brought together the finest Glasgow's underground has to offer, whilst her own residency at La Cheetah, Clank, has been one of the most forward-thinking club nights we've been gifted of late. Recent solo releases for GLARC & The Trilogy Tapes under the name Han come highly recommended, if quite impossible to describe."

Ribeka

Ribeka will be no stranger to anyone remotely interested in decent music, within Glasgow and far beyond. Co-founder of legendary Goth/Industrial revival night So Low alongside JD Twitch & Katie Shannon, and hosting one of the best NTS shows in rotation with fellow Glaswegian Sofay, Ribeka's credentials behind the booth are second-to-none, weaving together a signature selection of dub, post-punk, techno and uncategorizable club styles in an ever unique and compelling way."

Klaus

Many will know the elusive Klaus from his own incredible productions released via his label Tanum, breaking apart the rich traditions of UK sound-system based music and reassembling those forms into something completely his own. Some might even have been lucky enough to witness him behind the decks, whether at the helm of his own mighty Tanum Sound System or other various parties, events and fundraisers, showcasing a deep knowledge of Dub, Jungle, Grime, Hardcore and the spaces between." 

Rubadub Crew

We don't know what/ who to expect, but it'll probably be dead good. 

Doors open at 5pm, food from 6pm. Get down early for free entry before 8pm, £7 on the door afterwards.

4 - 6pm - Project Somnolence: Twilight Sessions

This drop-in session offers a space for contemplating darkness and the liminal moment between day and night. Like many other animals, our bodily rhythms are dependent on the light-dark cycles set by the Earth’s daily cycle of light. We offer a relaxed space in which to immerse in the ‘nocturnal’ as the year itself turns towards longer nights. Drawing on music, visual art and poetry, there will be stations set up to explore representations of twilight, darkness and night across a range of creative practices. Expect opportunities for deep listening, reading and recording your own responses to darkness.
Bring some writing materials, phone and headphones.

Roo & Neil are on tour, sharing new musical explorations alongside works from their debut album HOMELANDS. And they’re coming to Glasgow!

Roo Geddes and Neil Sutcliffe combine their shared experience across Classical, Folk and Jazz to create original music for violin and accordion. Based in Glasgow, they explore the ways in which music can evoke senses of place and community.

After a chance meeting on a beach in the northwest of Scotland, aged 13, the pair started to collaborate at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Almost a decade later, the duo released their debut album ‘Homelands’, showcasing original compositions inspired by the people and places that create a feeling of ‘home’. In 2020 during the first Covid-19 lockdown, some of this collection was selected as winner of Fèis Rois’ “In Tune with Nature” competition. The following year, the duo was awarded the prestigious ‘Danny Kyle Award’ from the Celtic Connections Festival. They now perform their original music regularly around the UK, as well as working closely with the charity Live Music Now Scotland.

We are looking forward to hosting The Wireless Set by Esme Andrews, a film screening followed by a discussion on April 23rd 6 – 7.30 PM

Welcome to a screening of The Wireless Set – an ethnographic and film project about islands, care, globalisation, and peripheral voices. This Orkney based project by Esme Andrews began as part of a Masters degree in Visual Anthropology. A year on, it’s still developing and finding its impact in the wellbeing of Scotland’s rural and island communities. The project was Esme’s response to ongoing complaints in the archipelago about healthcare provision for our non-linked isles, a situation which reminded her of a story by George Mackay Brown. The film part of the project is therefore an effort to tune into the island voice and suggest a remedy to this pattern we see in rural and island care under a centralised system. It’s about spending time paying attention to those who feel the impacts acutely and paying attention to how they struggle to navigate this space.

Come along to enjoy the film and perhaps exchange thoughts on how the ideas of this project might benefit rural health moving forward!

This event is curated by Sebastian Taylor.
