Tune Up - Music Touring Across Scotland

Tours: Club Tromolo

Wed 9th Apr 2008 - Thu 24th Apr 2008

Check out photos from the tour on flickr.

Club Tromolo takes its brand of wonky cabaret, music and dancing on the road around Scotland. The List dubbed it 'The most original club night in years'.

Witness amazing acts such as eccentric trombone-playing toff Sir Clifton Sainsbury who amazes with his cabaret within a cabaret and recitals of horror theme tunes on trombone; Miss Leggy Pee who charms her audience with easy listening classics and fashion circa 1933 and star pupil of Cirque du twattes scarey Belgium mime artiste Le Coq Sorbonne.

The cabaret is hosted by Frank Percy OBE who got lost in Glasgow on a day trip from Macclesfield and decided to start the night off with his contacts in the ferret juggling world.

Foul mouthed usherette Dierdre will be on hand and you can get your fortune told by the Govan Seer (a psychic from Govan); mingle with Malcolm the thespian gorilla and Jazzbadger (a badger who plays jazz).

Semi-forgotten folk combo, Fairpak Convention (Kozmik Colin & Hamper Van Wicklow) will be on hand to sing their 1971 no 41 pipe-smoking hit, 'A Finger Of Rough Shag'.

After the cabaret, Glasgow band A Band Called Quinn play. According to The Scotland On Sunday they might be "Glasgow's greatest band". This year sees the release of their album 'Sun, Moon, Star' which is hotly tipped... pre-release copies will be available on the tour.

To round the night off DJ Isambard Kingdom Brunel will spin some discs for people to dance to...
