Wednesday 22nd May 7.30 pm Phill Jupitus
Join stand-up comedian, poet, improviser, and TV stalwart Phill Jupitus for over an hour of tales, laughs and diversions. Watch in delight and/or horror as this experienced funny man drags laughs out of the chaos of his own life and the uncertain world that surrounds it.
Adult themes and situations, but delivered childishly.
Saturday 25th May , 7.30pm Glasgow Phoenix Choir is a member of the National Association of Choirs and is recognised as one of the foremost and longest established choral
Glasgow Phoenix Choir is a member of the National Association of Choirs and is recognised as one of the foremost and longest established choral groups in Scotland and the wider UK. This mixed voice choir has today approximately 120 Chorister Members, non-singing Associate Members and Patrons. We even have our own tartan (pictured left!).
Founded in 1951 the choir is able to trace its history and origins back to 1901 and the world renowned Glasgow Orpheus Choir under its conductor, the late, great Sir Hugh S. Roberton. We continue to perform new arrangements and old (many of them by Sir Hugh Roberton himself) of Scottish songs for which the choir is widely known. This is not the only part of the Choir’s extensive repertoire however, which extends through classical and sacred music, from all the major composers, to choral songs and the folk music of many cultures and music from the shows, including many of the top musicals currently showing worldwide. Glasgow Phoenix Choir is not a religious/church choir, neither is it an orchestral/theatrical chorus, but we have elements of all of these and more in our library catalogue of over 1000 titles and have recorded over 35 albums which reflect the breadth of our repertoire.

Awarded the ‘Best Instrumentalist’ Award at the Scottish Jazz Awards aged only 20, Fergus McCreadie is one of Scotland’s most exciting young artists. For the past 4 years, he has been a mainstay of the Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Aberdeen and Islay Jazz Festivals. His debut album with his trio, ‘Turas,’ has been praised for ‘reflecting his engagement with the Scottish landscape and musical tradition while also showing a firm grasp of the Jazz Piano tradition.’ (Jazz In Europe) He is also a member of Graham Costello’s STRATA, described as ‘groovy yet cerebral’ by BBC Radio Scotland, and of the Mark Hendry Octet and the Matthew Carmichael Quartet, both of whom have recently released their debut album. He is also a frequent sideman to electronic artist Werkha, having travelled to Estonia recently to perform with the band. As well as the Best Instrumentalist award, Fergus is a winner of the coveted Peter Wittingham Jazz Award, the Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the year u17s Prize, the Guy Jones, Joe Temperly and George Duncan prizes from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and the Linda Trahan Memorial Prize from St Andrews University. He has also been featured on BBC Radio Scotland regularly over the past 4 years, and has appeared alongside Bob Mintzer, Mike Stern, Iain Ballamy, Tommy Smith, Kestustis Vaiginis, Pat from Hue and Cry, Mario Caribe, Paul Towndrow and Alyn Cosker
As part of a project funded by National Lottery Aros’ programme co-ordinator Iseabail Strachan has been working with a group of S5 & S6 pupils from portree High School . They have been learning about programming and choosing acts that they would like to see perform at Aros Community Theatre.

Saturday 1st June, 7.00pm National Theatre of Scotland The Cheviot,The Stag & The Black, Black Oil Suitable for 14 yrs + A ceilidh through Scotland’s past – and present This legendary piece of Scottish
This legendary piece of Scottish theatre tells the story of the exploitation of Scottish lands, waters and people over the centuries.
From the highland clearances to the oil boom, this is the universal tale of how the greed of a few blights the lives of many. Add a generous dose of Scottish rebellion and irreverence. Throw in some live music and a riotous ceilidh – you’ve got yourself a rollicking great night out.
Following 2015’s hugely successful restaging, this new version of The Cheviot takes the story back to its roots, visiting intimate art centres and community spaces, echoing the play’s original 1970s tour by 7:84.
