Glasgow’s grassroots music stages are cooperating this month to host an eclectic night in aid of young people’s mental health in Scotland.
On Saturday 18th October, six of Glasgow’s most determinedly independent venues — Stereo, Mono, The Old Hairdresser’s, The Flying Duck, The Glad Café and The 78 — will jointly present a city-wide takeover of live music and comedy.
Headliners and special guests returning to the intimate rooms where they first cut their teeth include Altered Images, Carla J Easton, Withered Hand, Jill Lorean, Elisabeth Elektra, C Duncan, Gerard Love, Zara Gladman, Vic Galloway and Nightwave, with DJ sets from Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai, Stephen Pastel, Bemz and Pretty Ugly.
The project is a joint effort by local independent promoter Pop Mutations, a not-for-profit focused on supporting local emerging and small-scale touring artists across all genres and media; and Tiny Changes, Scotland’s first national young people’s mental health charity.
Tiny Changes was originally set up by the family of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison, who took his own life in 2018.
The love for the charity can be seen by the sheer number and calibre of artists and collaborators giving their time on 18th October.
With 20 artists performing across six venues, each ticket is said to guarantee a rare and special up-close experience with some of the country’s most exciting new and established acts.
At least £1 from every ticket sale is a donation to Tiny Changes, while £1 from every pint of Brewgooder’s ‘Goood Beer’ sold on the night, across participating venues will also be donated to the charity.
Tickets are on sale now from See Tickets and Citizen Ticket.
