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 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!

A Young @ Heart recital.

Katy grew up in Glasgow before studying cello in London and then in Cincinnati, Ohio. She then lived and worked in The Netherlands and in Inverness before moving back to her hometown of Glasgow in 2020 and joining Live Music Now Scotland in 2024.

Katy loves playing the Bach Cello Suites and performed all six at a drawing room venue in the Hague. To celebrate this, she commissioned two composers to write works for solo cello inspired by Bach and these pieces now feature in her repertoire alongside Bach. New music is a passion, and a highlight was meeting composer Steve Reich and performing his Music for 18 Musicians to him.

Katy loves teaching and community music and has worked with Sistema Scotland for many years. She is an advisor to The Agar Trust which supports young musicians living in rural areas. Being part of the Live Music Now family is a wonderful new chapter and Katy looks forward to sharing new experiences with audiences far and wide.

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.
