Govan International Festival

The third Govan International Festival kicks off this Friday night, with a free opening Ceilidh at the Pierce Institute, on Govan Road. This year's festival contains music, literature and theatre events, along with two new elements:Dance and Film.

Over the nine days of the festival, there are events taking place at several venues in the Greater Govan Area: The Pierce Institute will host the film nights, and theatre productions. To Kill a Mocking bird is being shown, and on Sunday evening there is a performance piece from the only Polish theatre group in Scotland. The piece is in both Polish and English, I'd really like to go and see this so I think I 'll book tickets tomorrow.

The Brechin bar on Govan Road, is hosting the literature events. {The Brechin Bar is the bar where Inspector Rebus drinks, in the tv programme. They've been filming inside and outside of the Brechin several times over the last few months.} Each evening there is a writer talking about their work, Alex Gray is scheduled for next wednesday night which should be interesting. After the literature reviews and readings there is live music.

There is also an event scheduled at the Grand Ole Oprey at Kinning Park. I've been wanting to go there for ages. I quite fancy an evening of drunken line dancing.

I'll post more details tomorrow...but there is some events, already in our calender.
