A welcome return of the show that celebrates three icons of Rock 'n' Roll music, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley.

Roy Orbison, played by Darren Page will perform the hits from ‘In Dreams’ to ‘I Drove all Night’, hit after hit.  Just back from his European tour, Darren will have you believing Roy is back in the room!

Marc Robinson and his four-piece band ‘The Counterfeit Crickets’ pay attention to detail in a tribute to Buddy Holly, with authentic attire, horn-rimmed glasses and the famous Stratocaster guitar. Marc Robinson from the original ‘Stars in their Eyes’ show and ‘Buddy The Musical', creates nostalgic memories with songs that include ‘Heartbeat’, ‘It Doesn’t Matter Anymore’, ‘Peggy Sue’ and ‘True Love Ways’.

Elvis, what more can you say, the true King of Rock 'n' Roll himself, sings lots of classics, ‘That’s all-right Mama’, ‘G.I. Blues’, & ‘Jailhouse Rock’.  From the ‘BBC ‘Elvis Show’ and many more hit shows around Great Britain, Europe and Las Vegas, Steve Halliday, with authentic costume changes, will transport you back to the days when Rock 'n' Roll was King!

Rock 'n' Roll at its finest!

Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.

Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.

This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Free entry, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm.

A phenomenon in Scotland where it has sold out countless nationwide tours, a sensation at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival and now touring throughout the United Kingdom & Eire.

Israeli vs Palestinian, Catholic v Protestant, Celtic vs Rangers…

When tribal factions clash can reason ever prevail?

A play exploring bigotry and ethnic identity.

What happens when, on the day of the Old Firm Match, you lock a Celtic and Rangers fan in a cell together?

Fireworks! And a weird kind of unity.

Two hate filled rival football fans locked up in the same prison cell verbally lacerate each other while their teams assemble for the derby in the stadium nearby.

In this crucible, Billy and Tim vent all their fears, bigotry, paranoia, misconceptions and, most significantly, the mutual loathing that has shaped their whole lives.  The lads’ collision is not just a matter of football rivalry, but a very serious clash of cultures with all the deep-seated bigotry that that entails.

Face to face with the object of their hatred, do they choose to destroy each other or to confront their demons and start a dialogue towards some kind of ceasefire?

A potent allegory for peace processes all over the world, Des Dillon’s extraordinary moving and hilarious “Singin’ I’m No A Billy, He’s a Tim” speaks for any divided culture where polarisation is inbred and prejudice governs reason.

When drama is supposed to reflect society, what better arena than the sport that grips society most?

“There’s more to football than football”.
