Time 1pm. 0141 332 5057 www.rcs.ac.uk GEORGE PAPAVGERIS: "The most prolific of creative men; the grandest of hearts and maker of songs that sear into the soul, George is unique, to say the least. His lilting accent lends a fantastic clarity to his delivery that is matched by deceptively simple guitar work. Few have written so many songs that demand your full attention and then insist, in the finest of ways, on staying with you forever. (Graham Searle)" Partick Folk Club, St Peter's Hall, 66

Time 11pm – 3am. flyingduckclub@gmail.com 26 OCTOBER THE APPLESEED CAST (USA) / JUNE MILLER (ITA) / VERSE METRICS (SCO): Lawrence, KS-based emo quartet The Appleseed Cast made its debut on the 1998 label sampler Records for the Working Class, releasing the full-length The End of the Ring Wars later that same year. In 1999 they released a new single, Skatter Ik Ignito, as well as a split EP with labelmates Planes Mistaken for Stars and Race Car Riot; Mare Vitalis followed in early 2000, heavily showcasing Baruth's complicated beats and the band's overall dense, atmospheric sound. Despite the hints of a new direction, the album couldn't have prepared fans for the two Low Level Owl albums released in 2001. Complex, delicate, and highly experimental, these two records took a cue from Radiohead's Kid A and sent the band careening into space rock and electronica with only traces of emo poking through. The records weren't nearly as commercially accepted, but their overall bravery showed that the band was prepared to make stylistic leaps. June Miller is cinematographic dream state, soundtrack of landscapes that have no name. It is dense sound, yet rarefied - meteorology of consciousness, often cumulonimbus of rain and rage, sometimes a white stain stretched and floating the blue. Verse Metrics is a Glasgow-based alternative band. Stereo, 20 – 28 Renfield Lane, Glasgow. Time 7pm. Tickets £12. www.facebook.com/TheAppleseedCast www.facebook.com/versemetrics www.facebook.com/junemillerband BREABACH: Breabach, nominated for numerous BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and current holders of ‘Best Group’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards, incorporate highland bagpipes, fiddle, guitar, bass, flute, bouzouki, step dance, Gaelic and Scots song, to produce a dynamic, diverse and captivating performance Biggar Little Festival, Biggar.

With this in mind, and with the help of St Boswells Cricket Club, we are introducing Bread & Jam, a terrible pun on a simple concept. This is how it works: From 8pm, turn up at the Cricket Club (just round the back of the Buccleuch Arms Hotel) with your instrument,

voice or just a willingness to listen and enjoy the music. Feel free to bring an amplifier if you need one, but the room is small enough to be acoustic. If you feel an urge, and there is no one else doing it, play your instrument, sing your song, tell your story or whatever you want to do. We encourage people to join in, but if you want to do it alone then just ask. In the meantime, get drinks from the Cricket Club bar, listen to other people, and enjoy the soup and bread we’ve laid on (that’s where the “bread” bit comes from). That’s it. Donations to pay for the food, and keep St Boswells Live! running are welcome, but there’s no obligation. 27 OCTOBER

est and greatest contemporary al-ternative music, alongside poetry, art, street entrainment and fire-works, it’s certainly going to be a great weekend. Those kind folk at DEWAR’S® are sponsoring our amazing festival again this year, so there is sure to be some great whisky too…what more can you ask! www.aberfeldyfestival.co.uk Scottish Soulful Week-ender 3 Dumfries November 1-3 SSW3 - the third Scottish Soulful Weekender and biggest event so far! The last two year's events were massive successes and were hailed as "the friendliest weekender ever" by all of the patrons that attended this incredible 3 day and 3 night event set in an incredible venue. Don't be misled by the name The Scottish Soulful Weekender, yes we play a lot of soul music in some of the rooms but we also cater for soulful and jackin' house music lov-ers in the Pressure Point and nu disko, techy vibes and edits in the Blue Room with everything else in between. www.scottishsoulfulweekender.co.uk Carrying Stream Festival Edinburgh November 6-13 The 12th annual autumn music fes-tival by The Edinburgh Folk Club who meet every Wednesday at 8pm in the Pleasance Cabaret Bar www.edinburghfolkclub.co.uk House Folk Scottish Music Festival Kinlochard November 7-8 Now in its sixth year the House Folk Scottish Music Festival brings you two nights of Scottish music per-formed by top artists in a highly un-usual and intimate venue. The con-certs take place every year in au-tumn in the village of Kinlochard situated in the Heart of the Tros-sachs.

The highly acclaimed Carlisle Blues Festival celebrated five incredibly exciting and successful years with a weekend event in November 2011 which many regarded as the best UK blues festival of the year. 2012 even surpassed that cementing the event as one of the top three of its kind in the country. The key to the success of the Car-lisle Blues & Rock Festival has al-ways been the consistent strength of the line up and its refusal to be restricted within a genre. It doesn’t guarantee to please all of the peo-ple all of the time but it does prom-ise to please the vast majority of the audience for the most part of the time. Whatever happens the Carlisle festi-val in 2013 promises another feast of the very best in real live music. Would you want to miss out? http://carlislebluesfestival.com/ Kinross-shire Music Festival Kinross-shire November 14-17+22-24 Kinross-shire Local Events Organi-sation (KLEO) is delighted to an-nounce that Ricky Ross will perform at the Kinross-shire Music Festival which will take place over two weekends (14-17 Nov and 22-24 Nov) in Kinross and Milnathort.

But no other instrument can compare with the piano for the power it gives the individual player to create a whole many-voiced world of colours, lines, arguments,

textures – and emotions. Few other instruments have proven them-selves as multifaceted and versatile as this astounding creation of wood, metal, wire, felt and lacquer. That is why in November, we celebrate The Piano. www.glasgowmusic.co.uk Fiddle 2013 Edinburgh November 22-24 The Scots Fiddle Festival seeks to sustain and promote Scottish fiddle tradition and idioms, by providing a platform for performance, educa-tion, and participation. A weekend of concerts, recitals, workshops, talks and exhibitions is held on an annual basis highlighting regional Scottish fiddle styles and intercul-tural connections. www.scotsfiddlefestival.com St Andrews Festival St Andrews November 30 Celebrating St Andrews Day in St Andrews is like celebrating St Pat-rick’s Day in Dublin! Join the town in celebrating Scotland’s patron saint. Spend the day visiting top tourist attractions including St An-drews Cathedral where it is said a relic of St Andrew is buried and then spend the night enjoying the festivities. www.festivalsinfife.co.uk/festivals/67-st-andrews-festival
