FRIDAY 24
Glasgow
0 Deal Heights Cajun Aces Bar Luxembourg. Pitt Street. 9pm. Free. Scotland‘s best cajun band - although the competition is not intense. who recently released an album on the Temple folk label. A good night out. I would imagine.
0 Restless Rooftops. 92 Sauchiehall Street. 332 5883. 10.30pm. Although lam not certain. the name and the venue would make it a pretty safe bet that Restless are goths following in the wake of the Cult. and so on. Limited interest value.
0 The Cretins Weavers. Maxwellton Road. Paisley. 8pm. 887 5143. Much more fun. from a band who are only slightly influenced by the Ramones. The Wigs are worth the money to see.

Black spiky tops should abound. but will they still keep the faith when Sudden and Howard guest on Iggy albums twenty years hence‘.’.

0 Norwegian Blues Halt Bar. Woodlands Road. 332 1210. 9pm. Free. The diverisity of the Halt‘s programme always makes for some interesting events. and a Norwegian blues band is certainly one of those. Whether it will be as good as it is intersting remains to be seen.
