If you've ever got something happening in Scottish theatre, then make sure you let me know - email or DM!
Most of the time, either @thelatedave or I can make it along for @TheStage...

A wee thread of some Scottish theatre announcements that have come out in the last few weeks, which I haven't had time to shout about...
(Thinking of doing a weekly thread like this, for bits and bobs I don't cover in @TheStage...)

Some words on the late, great Manuel Gottsching for @Mixmag
"It’s a testament to his enduring influence that, were this tribute being written for a rock publication, it would be an entirely different one."
@thelatedave pays tribute to Manuel Göttsching
