I} I Deacon Blue Glasgow Royal Concert 1 Hall. Sauchiehall Street. 6.30pm. SOLD OUT. See Fri 27. i I Dig George And The Business Apollo. Renfrew Court. 332 6231. 8pm. Free. See Fri 27. i I Whiteout Bay Hotel. Pierhead. Gourock. £0475 31244. 8pm. £1. Whiteout round off a sterling year with a homecoming ‘look lhow far we've got‘ gig. Quite a fair :distance would be the response. considering that this time last year they'd only been around a couple of months. Now the ink‘s drying on a deal with Sacred Heart records and they‘re demoing for their debut single. Strong contemporary indie pop with a noticeable 60s streak to it. The gig is open to under—18s. but there will be a disco for over-18s afterwards.

Plus DJs Paul and Andrew from Bug. providing a danceable diversion of a different kind. Note that doors shut at 1 1.30pm. so no opportunities for inventive first-footing (like emptying the contents of your stomach on the doorstep).

I Fish Playhouse Theatre. Greenside Place. 557 2590. 9.30pm. £10. £9. Here‘s a new twist to Hogmanay: spend it with the man who towers over the rest of Scottish musicians. although that may just be something to do with his height. For the occasion. he might just attempt to re-create the video for ‘lnternal Exile' with willing audience members.
I Blues‘n'Trouble Preservation Hall. Victoria Street. 226 3816. This looks like a more swingin‘ way to see out the Auld Year. The R'n‘B of B'n'T can always be relied upon to get audiences frothing and frenzied. even without the additional excuse of Hogmanay.
I Blueiinger Platform One. Rutland Street. 225 2433. 7pm~-2am. £7. See Sat 21.

investigating.
