40th anniversary of the historic 1971 work-in at Upper Clyde Shipbuilders
Mitchell Theatre, Glasgow
October 1st 2011, 7.00pm
The new piece Work-In at UCS: A Celebration Suite which will see Alba Brass and Sax Ecosse
gradually building up on stage with The Whistlebinkies, has been commissioned from their flautist
Eddie McGuire by the UCS veterans and Scottish Ethical Events.
The concert continues, featuring Rab Noakes, Arthur Johnstone, Simone Welsh, Alastair McDonald, Dick Gaughan, with Elaine C. Smith recreating Jimmy Reid’s famous 1971 speech. An address by Tony Benn and a short film of as yet unseen footage from the 1971 events complete the evening.
(This concert is likely to be sold out; because of demand for tickets the organisers are planning repeat performances at a later date)
