VIGO THIEVES

ELIZA AND THE BEAR

Vigo Thieves recently made history by becoming the first unsigned band to sell out two consecutive nights in Glasgow’s famous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut venue and then opened the Transmissions Stage at T in the Park to 3,000 people. Now you can catch Scotland’s next big thing at The Lemon Tree this September.

As a band well versed in delivering that all-important melodic hook, and with the lyrical prowess to match, it’s no surprise that the last 6 months has seen them receive support on the airwaves too. Following a string of high-profile support slots for the likes of Paramore, Imagine Dragons and Twin Atlantic they head to Aberdeen as part of their own headline tour.

STEVE CROPPER & THE ANIMALS

BAY CITY ROLLERS

Perhaps the ultimate testament to Steve Cropper’s immense contribution to music was his ranking by Mojo Magazine as the number two guitarist of all-time (Jimi Hendrix was number one).

The Animals were one of the most important British bands of the 1960s. The group is widely considered the raunchiest, dirtiest, and most authentic and uncompromisingly raw band of their time.

After joining the Bay City Rollers in November 1973, the tartan teen sensations, with Les McKeown on lead vocals, shot to superstardom and kicked off Rollermania. With Les as vocalist, their first single Remember shot up the UK charts to No 6 and was quickly followed by Shang-A-Lang, Summerlove Sensation and All Of Me Loves All Of You all hitting the top five.

And a mic. And cables. And a sound system. And then a room, obviously. With more chairs. And a lighting rig. It’s surprising how much stuff is involved actually.

Winner of five major comedy awards. 24-hour-show luminary.

Novelist. Watson (host of BBC’s We Need Answers, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Mock The Week regular and star of cult Radio 4 series Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better) returns to the road. This is his darkest, most personal show yet. Luckily, also his funniest.

Award winning comedian Vikki Stone has blagged, stolen and borrowed twenty musical instruments. Some she can play really quite well, and others, at the time of writing, not so well. This collection of instruments, each with a story, will become the underscore for this tale of love, loss and music.

RETINA DANCE COMPANY AND BASTA!

IF A, THEN C

If A, then C is a contrasting saga that takes place between two instruments, the double bass (Joris Vanvinckenroye) and the body (Filipe Van Huffel), a duet of pure emotion in an abstract framework. It starts from experience, identity, strength, letting go, loss, desire, change, new beginnings and sudden endings. C is only possible if A has taken place. This emotional and stimulating work is a physical, visual and acoustic assault on the senses. £11 STUDIO (seated)

St rth t No Wes

t oun em Ros

Bon Accord Harriet St Car Park

HOW MUCH? We’ve printed the whole price of ticket in the brochure, this includes the booking fee (the only extra you’ll have to pay for is postage, but why not print your own at home?) – there could well be discounts for students, children, over 60s or APA Friends – just ask or check online.

DO I SIT OR STAND? A bit of both – we try and create the right atmosphere for each gig, some will have seats, some won’t – we’ve tried to list it where we can here.

WHAT DO THE TIMES MEAN?
