Plattorm are using the Maylest venue at the Govan Town Hall tor the first time, to accomodate the bigger audience. and with better bars. It's also handy tor the Underground. 0n the tenorand the soprano. but so exquisitely on the latter Wayne Shorter. see photo, has been at the loretront ol jazz evolution lrom his early 60s' days with Miles Davis. through the electrical storm 01 Weather Report to the extended intensity ol his new bands. where state-oi-the-art technology is kept at the service at the musical idea and the expressiveness ol the reed. See Guestlist.

Billie lbidun is an actress/singer from Glasgow. born at Nigerian parents, who has lovingly constructed a one woman show revealing in dramatic monologue the torces in society and the energies in her namesake that gave rise to those diamonds ol song. Ms Ibidun has been singing since she was tourteen, and her remarkable blues vocal style belies her twenty one years. The Third Eye Centre presents ‘Aint Nobody's
