What's On Scotland 19-26 Jul: Flying Moon Music & Arts Festival

A brand new all-day music, arts and crafts festival hits Glasgow this weekend, organised by Moonstruck On Clydeside, indie-folk band Flying Penguins and venue host for the day The Flying Duck. Set up as an alternative for those who can't afford to attend larger festivals and with a focus on female-led acts, Flying Moon Music and Arts Festival is exactly the kind of festival we need, and it's shaping up to be a winner.

Kicking off at 4pm on Saturday and running all the way through until midnight, Flying Moon will feature a number of craft stalls from the likes of Rebel Radical DIY, Cymbal Things and BASICBITCH Stitching, as well as live music performances from the likes of CRYSTAL, Annie Booth, Zoë Bestel, Megan Airlie and Iona Fyfe. Yes please and thank you!

The Craft – Screening & Rachel True In Person Q&A
Flying Duck, Glasgow. 25 Jul, 7pm
Everything you know about 90s fashion trends – from PVC coats to crucifix necklaces – they all came from The Craft. Burnt Church Film Club are screening the cult film and actress Rachel True, who played Rochelle, will also be participating in a Q&A. One thing you’ll learn is that witchcraft is really fucking chic.

The Beatles Yellow Submarine
DCA, Dundee. 22 Jul, 6pm
To mark the film’s 50th anniversary, The Beatles Yellow Submarine has been restored, with screenings in cinemas across the UK this month.

Sing it with us, “We all live in a yellow submarine / Yellow submarine / Yellow submarine.”

Nice 'n' Sleazy, Glasgow. 22 Jul, 2pm
Looking for some new records to add to your collection? Well, Roky Records, The Vinyl Museum and Blackbyrd Vinyl have teamed up to put on this record fair on Sunday, selling a range of second-hand vinyl and CDs. Matchbox Cineclub have also got involved and will be screening vintage ads throughout the day, while food will be provided by Koko's Japanese Kitchen. An all-round nice day out, we think.

Frankie Boyle – Work In Progress 2018
The Stand, Glasgow. 22 Jul, 7.30pm
Back on our TV screens with his new weekly current affairs show, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Frankie Boyle is also back on stage testing out new stand-up material. The controversial Scottish comedian has been performing work-in-progress shows at The Stand throughout the month; it’s safe to say you can probably expect a mix of belly laughs and should-I-really-be-laughing-at-this laughs.

Bard in the Botanics
Glasgow Botanic Gardens, Glasgow. Until 28 Jul, times vary
You may have heard of this guy called William Shakespeare. He’s kind of famous, having written plays including Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth. Yeah, that guy. Bard in the Botanics celebrates Shakespeare’s work with a series of productions in Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens throughout the summer and on Tuesdays tickets are only £12 for each show, so basically just go.
