13TH Friday ROBERT CURGENVEN + CHEER 8.00pm/£7 Tickets at www.thegladcafe. co.uk/tickets.html Robert Curgenven is an Australian composer/sound artist living in Cornwall. His work spans immersive resonances via turntables and custommade vinyl, instrumental harmonics
and guitar feedback, through to carefully detailed field recordings from remote areas where he lived for many years. Drawing on the physicality of sound and not just the physical impact on the body but the way in which the auditory can shape our perception of space and the flow of time – The Wire surmises that “behind the music—to these ears at any rate—lurk such [disparate] presences as Alvin Lucier, King Tubby, Murray Schafer and Eliane Radigue.” Cheer is the musical project of Glaswegian Alec Cheer who has released on Benbecula Records and Worthy Records and collaborated with Dom Dickson, Alastair Crosbie as well as animating music videos for Conquering Animal Sound and RM Hubbert.

MR MCFALL’S CHAMBER
4.00pm/£5 Tickets at the Glad Cafe
Tickets: www. brownpapertickets.com/ event/418909
Helen Minnis, Senior Lecturer in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Glasgow University, and Graham Bryce, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at NSPCC, will be examining “WEANS & BRAINS.” Helen and Graham have been researching the key importance of early care and nurture of infants in creating a sense of security and a healthy creation of the self. They consider what implications this has not only for childcare but also for social policy - particularly in the care of our most vulnerable children. If you have young children - or grandchildren - or you are involved in care of children then don’t miss the fascinating findings of their research. - You’ll look at babies with an even greater sense of awe after this one!

Two exmembers of one-time cult Edinburgh band Trianglehead, Paul Harrison and Martin Kershaw, also contribute new works.

21ST Saturday 22ND Sunday
DOORS OPEN DAY GLASGOW’S BUILT HERITAGE FESTIVAL
7.30PM/£7 Tickets: www.wegottickets. com/index/nr2 Dawson’s music is a collision of opposites, his hoarsely cracking voice suddenly rising to a magical soar that’s been compared to Tim Buckley, John Martyn and Richard Youngs, while his battered acoustic guitar veers from stumble to sublime in a way that can recall Sir Richard Bishop or Captain Beefheart. Add this to his snaring way with words and Dawson’s got you pinned – stories like the one relayed in Black Dog In the Sky typify his by turns heartbreaking and hilarious selfdeprecation and skill in painting a story with both words and guitar.
