What's On Scotland 29 Aug-5 Sep: Slàinte Mhath & more

It's had a gorgeous run but Shore-based bar Lost in Leith is putting a pause to its club nights for the foreseeable (don't worry, you can still go grab a drink whenever you like!). To see their beautiful run of events off in style is one last night from Edinburgh-based night Slàinte Mhath, doing an all-day takeover of the space on 31 August from 4pm.

On the lineup are the likes of Lost in Leith regulars Ann Tweak and Otis worming (pictured), Haptic mainstay Bartek, and Slàinte Mhath founder Al Gu, playing everything from electro and breaks to jungle and vinyl selections. Money from the night is being raised for grassroots organisation giving4gaza – get your tickets here.
