Cushion Concert - Planet
- Inverlochy Art School
- Join us for another exciting Cushion Concert at the historic Inverlochy House with Planet. Not to worry if a cushion's not your thing...we have chairs! "Bagpipes, excitement and Rock n' Roll !” Words you don't often hear in the same sentence. PLANET mixes traditional bagpipe airs, with post punk riffs, and a dollop of vaudevillian good humour. It could be world music, it could be underground indie rock. It could be psychedelic folk music. But it's always approachable and certainly a lot of fun.

Lunchtime Readings
- Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery
- Every second Tuesday lunchtime, Christina Barton, Director of the Adam Art Gallery and co-curator of In Relation: Performance Works by Peter Roche & Linda Buis 1979–1985, will select a performance in the exhibition and read the relevant original notes drafted by the artists or compiled by their most assiduous audience member, the critic and curator Wystan Curnow. Her idea is to bring a live dimension into the gallery as a way of animating the documentation on display and sharing first-hand insights in their unedited form. Each reading will be between 10 and 20 minutes with time for questions after.
