Letham Nights, with support from Celebrating Fife 2010, will be offering an all-day, free drama and music workshop for 12-21 year olds called ‘Do it in a Day’ on Sat 19 June 2010. The participants will kick off Letham Nights with the performance they have co-written and rehearsed that day, followed by local organic food provided by Pillars of Hercules, an open mic set compered by comedian Bruce Devlin and, to finish off the evening, a set from highly-acclaimed Dundee band Luva Anna.

Luva Anna & The Bum-Clocks

October 30th, 2009

luvaannaThe stunning Luva Anna are coming to Letham Nights bringing their unique blend of sea shanty-folk-punk to shake things up. From Dundee, they forge folk-tinged 4-part harmonies with catchy melodies and riffs, to deliver one of the most incendiary live shows currently on the circuit to both amuse and beguile fans and critics alike.

Listen

In little more than two years, the band has played over 200 gigs, taking in the Academy tour with The
View(1500 + Capacity venues) and several Festivals including T in The Park, Rock Ness, Belladrum, The Wickerman Festival, Live at Loch Lomond and Connect.

They will be joined by the magnificent Bum-Clocks, Edinburgh-based 3-piece band whose
show combines the energy of Iggy Pop with the inspiration of Rabbie Burns. It’s post-punk
wi’ a touch o’ folk.
BUM-CLOCK, A humming beetle, that flies in the summer evenings. (from Jamieson’s
Scottish Dictionary -Edinburgh 1867). You don’t believe what you are reading?

Take a peek:

Saturday 28th November 2009, 8pm till Midnight
Tickets: £7.50 (£5 concs/ under 12 free) – book in advance to be sure of a ticket!

Three things I need to tell you:

September 10th, 2009
1.  Chloe Hall’s new album ‘Outside’ has just had a 4 star review in Scotland on Sunday from Norman Chalmers.  More evidence that you really need to book your ticket for Saturday.
2. On this occasion, the Transition Tavern is unable to be there in its usual form but, just for you, we have arranged a new bar called ‘The Clap & Tipple’.  This will be organised on broadly the same local principles with a few modifications and will bring you beer from Luckie Ales, a selection of French wines from Luvians and most of your usual favourites.
3. There is a wee error in our pre-publicity for the next gig – Spanky’s Heroes from Dundee will be playing Letham Nights on Saturday 17th October and NOT on Sunday 18th.  Apologies to them for this mistake.  Once we get the next poster done it will come out correctly.
Thanks for your patience and continuing support.  Now get your tickets booked for Saturday.  It really is unmissable this time!
Mike
