Eilidh's Daily Ukulele Ceilidh
Todays suggestion of a fun thing to do in the Southside is a slightly strange one but comes highly recommended.Eilidh MacAskill is one half of performance artist magicians Fish and Game (Formerly Reader) who's unique style, layering multiple ideas in a humourous, playful, dream like fashion have wowed audiences around Scotland for the last few years. Their past performances have included a show involving a man that wants to become a whale, a campfire storytelling session (with the audience tucked up together in sleeping bags) an exploration of what it means to be Scottish and a beautiful reimagining of the nativity play.
Now Eilidh brings us "Eilidh's Daily Ukuele Ceilidh" where each day of 2007 she has been performing with her little ukuele around Britain, the US and Canada. In the run up to the completion of the project on 31 December Eilidh is having a pretty busy time, performing all over the place, the Traverse at the weekend before coming over to Glasgow for a show at the Tron. The highlight of her month, and probably of the entire year however is a show at Sammy Dows on 67 -71 Nithsdale road, Pollokshields on the 5 November. What better way to get into the spirit of celebration commemorating someone trying to blow up parliment than to go along and listen to a bit of first rate Ukueleing (sp?). The show starts at 7pm.
If it wasn't for my astronomy class (which continues to be excellant) then I'd be in the front row.

I am a big Fish and Game fan. I ve been to see a number of their shows now. I still think my favourite was the special performance at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, where I got to sit under a tree, wrapped in a blanket, listening to a wonderful story...
