South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

SLLC’s Culture department offer a wide range of “art” activities to the local community which includes painting and drawing, ceramics, stained glass, dressmaking, traditional arts and crafts, guitar, drumming and much more.

All our tutors are talented artists and committed to inspiring participants of all ages and abilities in their creative work by passing on their expert knowledge and techniques to participants whilst building up their confidence to express themselves in whatever way they wish.

This exhibition showcases the wealth of talent that we are lucky to have within our family of “tutors”.

Girls, Guys and Glamrock!

It’s 1974 and Abba just had their Waterloo and our three LUVbirds, Linda, Una and Vi often find their love lives, flushed doon the loo after getting a “dissy” at Boots Corner! Where thousands of Glasgow’s young lovers started their dauner down the aisle…or right back to “ra dancin’.

Many a night they’ve waited on their Knight in shining armour and all the amour- hoping to make it across the road to Beaverbrooks, in their quest for that band of gold.

Will our LUVbirds fall head over heels…or right “aff” their heels? 

A night full of Girls, Guys & Glamrock with all the hilarity, all the love hangovers and all the hits…everything from Abba to T Rex to Bowie and The Bay City Rollers! And so many more…

From the writer of last year’s comedy smash, “The Provy Wummin”- this is not to be missed!

Age restriction: 16+

Adult humour and occasional strong language.

Available to book online or by calling The Town House Hamilton on 01698 452299.

Cost: £22.50 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)

 

Due to popular demand and after a sold-out debut at Lanark Memorial Hall in 2024, Live Wire are back! AC/DC, arguably the greatest rock band of all time, are brought to life by Live Wire with the true passion you would expect from professional musicians who share your love of this legendary live act. They deliver a critically acclaimed High Voltage two hour rock ’n’ roll set with not only cannons and a full bank of Marshall amps but a journey that takes fans from one of the best-selling albums of all time ‘Back in Black’ through to the 2020 release ‘PWR UP’, with a healthy dose of the classics from the Bon Scott era. 

With over 20 years of touring under their belt, Live Wire put the audience right in the middle of a live experience comparable to that only AC/DC themselves produce. We invite AC/DC fans to join us, sing with us and relive some of those classic AC/DC concerts of the past on our very own Highway to Hell.

Please note that for this event, Stalls will be standing.

Available to book online or by calling Lanark Memorial Hall on 01555 673199.

Cost: £28.00 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)
