Next up for our Summer Sessions 26’ this evening at 6pm! ☀️

The Stellar Anderson Project is a genre-defying collaboration led by Scottish musician Stellar Anderson. Fusing Celtic, alternative, and classical influences.

Theatrical songs pair spellbinding vocals with melodic piano, viola, and acoustic guitar.

Called “indie brilliance” and “gothic folklore enchantment,” the project delivers dramatic, eclectic live shows. Now featuring violist Katie Gittens.

Previous Collaboration with Chris Holman (Julian Cope). They have supported Hue and Cry, Julia Othmer (The Forcefields), and Carol Hodge (The Wildhearts. Steve Ignorant Band).

Entry is free but these guys are welcoming a pay what you can basis! 🎭

Cant wait to welcome you guys!

One of my favourite beers from Winton Brewery! 🍺

We recently won Gold for this beer, and on a day like today, it’s absolutely perfect. ☀️

It’s also available in cans to take away, with a portion of the proceeds going towards Rett syndrome research and support — the cause that inspired this beer in the first place.

Join us tonight at 7pm. The award-winning debut stand up show written and performed by Iain Anderson is at The Rusty Seagull joined by the amazing support act Aimee Hinds. 🎭

A fast paced, brutally honest and riotously funny account of his life so far.

From the gay scene in Glasgow to rock bottom in Barcelona, this is a celebration of the resilience and the saving power of laughter.

It’s not a sob story, it’s a reminder that even the messiest of lives can still be fabulous. Come laugh, cry, feel uplifted and leave feeling more connected to those around you.

An experience not to be missed that’s unlike anything else in comedy today!

Joined by support act Aimée Hinds, Aimee is a darkly funny storyteller who finds humour in the places most people try to forget.

Drawing from her real experiences with mental health, including time spent in the psyche ward, she turns chaos into comedy with raw honesty and razor-sharp wit. Her performances blend vulnerability, defiance, and perfectly timed gallows humour, making her one of the most compelling voices on the circuit.

Aimée doesn’t just talk about survival, she laughs in its face

Just turn up and pay what you can.💙

Tomorrow evening we’ve got this cracker for you! 🎭
