FRIDAY 13
Glasgow
0 The Pogues Glasgow University queen Margaret Union. Surely the high spot ofall the University's Daft Fridays. The Pogues will no doubt be a little tearful, a little tired and emotional and definitely a little incbriated — and so will everybody else. Sweet sentimental fun indeed. Students and friends.
0 Jesse Rae Rooftops. Sauchiehall Street. The Tartan One back with his backing tapes again! This will be Jesse‘s first Glasgow appearance for some time. mostly due to his lack ofa backing band as the conglomerate of famous musicians (Bernie Worrell. Jocelyn Brown) who played on the last single, live in America! For those of you who haven‘t seen Jesse before. he is an experience not to be missed, a combination of blatant Scottish traditionalism, mystery (Jesse always wears a helmet in public which conceals his face) and raw American funk. If the spectacle ofa kiltcd, Claymore swinging funk artist appeals, then Jesse Rae is yer man. Even ifyou don‘t know what he looks like.
0 Rank Wangtord Band plus The Sting Rytes Glasgow University GUU. Caustic country from Hank. who is a surprisingly serious man compared to his weird and hysterical music and rock and roll from one of Scotland’s favourite gigging bands The Sting I Rytes. Students and friends. 5' o Swinging Sister The SubClub. New 3 act‘s first appearance in Glasgow.
0 A Certain Ratio and Microdisney Glasgow College ofTechnology, Cowcaddens Road. Microdisney must be one of my favourite new bands of 1985 and A Certain Ratio one of the most surprisingly tight, entertaining live acts. A good night but only for students and guests.
Edinburgh
0 Pauline Murray Hoochie Coochie Club, West Tollcross. 10.30pm. A warm welcome back to the one who missed the boat. As singer with Penetration, Pauline turned in some marvellous work, but never created the stir that she deserved. Maybe this . time. O The Mirrors Jailhouse, Calton
Road. 10.30pm. Free.
