The City Sinners reformed in 2024 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of ‘Grievous Angel’, the first official Gram/Emmylou collaboration. It was intended as a one off idea, but such was its success, that they have been persuaded to keep the show on the road.

This new project features all of Emmylou’s 1976 album ‘ELITE HOTEL’, in addition to a selection of songs associated with both Gram and Emmylou.

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.

Cost: £16.00 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)

From here to maternity…

And for every pregnant mother climbing that hill to Rottenrow, it took an eternity!

It’s a cold night in May 2001…Big Andy and his sidekick in security, Slim Si are watching over the decrepit wards of the iconic Rottenrow Maternity Hospital, the night before it feels the pain of the wrecking ball and is razed to the ground, with no epidural to numb the pain. The end of an epidural era! On their midnight “tour of duty”, our two hapless Security Guards wander through the wards and stumble upon an old box…containing patient files, cod liver oil and a lot of vodka…

And as the vodka kicks in…he reminisces with Slim Si about how him and his siblings were all birthed in the rooms of Rottenrow…and thousands of others. The birth of a nation!  

Before long, it’s drams and prams, pains and weans, distractions and contractions….as The Wummin on The Wards emerge to give birth to their stories (and their weans) in full thrust Glasgow style. Literally all the belly aching hilarity…and a few hysterectomies too. A show that will have you in stitches!!

From the writer of the smash hit musical comedies “The Provy Wummin” and “Meet Me at Boots Corner” – with the pulsating patter of big toe tapping musical numbers-from Bassey to The Beatles and Boney M…and so many more!!

Not to be missed. Grab a seat and pay a visit with your lucozade and grapes and reminisce about “Rottenrow”.
