SATURDAY 9 MAY, 8pm 

"Working Men's Club" is a stand-up comedy show about the jobs that shape us - and the pressure that comes with them.

Drawing on his own working life, Scott takes audiences through years spent bouncing in nightclubs, working in bookies, call centres, dead-end shifts, and eventually finding his way into stand-up comedy. The show explores what work gives men beyond money: structure, pride, identity - and what happens when that starts to disappear.

Alongside personal stories, "Working Men's Club" tackles modern working culture, the myth of "loving what you do," the silent dignity of graft, and the growing impact of AI on jobs that once felt secure. Funny, honest, and unpolished in the best way, this is a show for anyone who's ever clocked in, kept their head down, and carried on.

Scott Gibson is an Award Winning Scottish stand-up comedian and podcaster. Known for commanding stage presence, dark observational humour, grounded storytelling, and an ability to connect with audiences through lived experience rather than gimmicks. His work blends humour with social commentary, focusing on modern masculinity, work, purpose, and the quiet realities of everyday life. With years of live performance experience across clubs, theatres, and festivals, Gibson delivers intelligent, hard-hitting comedy that connects instantly with audiences.

Following a renewed creative push and a strong return to live performance, Scott is touring a brand-new hour of stand-up. Often described as "Irvine Welsh meets Billy Connolly" (The Evening Standard), Gibson's comedy is fearless, honest, and deeply human-rooted in story, delivered with bite, and unafraid to sit in the darker corners.

2026 also marks 10 years since Scott became the first Scottish comedian to win Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe, and "Working Men's Club" is not a victory lap-it's the opening chapter of what comes next.

FRIDAY 15 MAY, 8pm THE GRANARY

We are delighted to be welcoming to the Granary, veterans of the International music world, THE ELDERLY BROTHERS - an exciting five piece band consisting of:

Rob Mairs on 5 string banjo

Seán O’Rourke on vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica and flute

Kenny Robertson on vocals and guitar

Colin Finn on vocals and percussion

Jim Divers on vocals and double bass

The members of the band have a long history stretching back to the late 1960s.  Rob and Seán first played together back in 1968 when they were exploring the music of the Incredible String Band and Bert Jansch as well as Americana influences such as Doc Watson and Woody Guthrie. Rob has recorded bluegrass (with Old Hickory), ragtime (with Banjo Cocktail) and folk-rock (with the JSD Band).

Kenny Robertson, who has an uncanny memory for lyrics, was born in the Gorbals and now lives in Strathaven.  He has played on stage, TV and radio with several pop, folk and rock, bands – one of which included Seán and Colin. Having discovered their shared taste in music, they amalgamated with Rob and Jim in the current line-up.

Seán and Colin also played with Jim in the JSD Band whose material always included American-influenced blends of folk, country, blues, bluegrass, and rock traditions.  You can expect to hear some songs and tunes that inspired the band throughout their formative years. Not to be missed!

Door entry of £10 includes filter coffee, tea and delicious home baking.

Doors open 7.30pm  Children under 16 free.  Limited seating.  Come early to avoid disappointment.
