Whats on this weekend May 24th

Some great things happen that happen by accident. After a band cancelled at The Bungalow a space came up for grabs.

Up jumped local Paisley band The Citadels hot off their headline slot at the Paisley Food and Drink Festival to headline a cracking line up of rock and at the same time launch their latest release, Ashes. Alan McEwan of The Bungalow said “We are excited to welcome The Citadels to The Bungalow. I saw them at the Food and Drink Festival, and I thought they put in a great set. I’m looking forward to seeing the support on the night who are Straw Dogs 1980 and Townsmen. Tickets are £5 but be quick as demand will be high as this is a surprise show from the band. Doors are 7pm. 

The Bobby Deans Big Band once again are back for another afternoon of the very best in big band tunes. Doors are 1pm and it is free entry.
