📍 G2 3NY

Celebrating over 40 years as a live performer, Eddi Reader has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers. Though first brought into the limelight as front woman for Fairground Attraction, who’s #1 single, Perfect topped the British charts, it is Eddi’s subsequent albums that have signaled her ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them her own. What sets Eddi apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance and ability to not only move the listener, but connect her experience to that of her audience. No two performances are ever the same. “One of my favourite singers of all time” Jools Holland “Just perfect – Eddi Reader gets every song just right” The Sunday Times “Flawless, not just perfect, world class” R2 Magazine “Timeless and universal” The Scotsman ONLY TERRACE AND ARENA TICKETS AVAILABLE.

Alienation Glasgow

18+Wed

📅 6 May 2026

📍 G1 1DX

Tinderbox, Ingram Street, Glasgow: 6-7:30pm I usually have a paper sign with ALIENATION GLASGOW on it. Typically sit at one of the large tables on the ground floor, but it varies depending on available seating. Everyone welcome. No agenda, just a meeting with the like-minded as per the blurb. What is this? A social meet for anyone affected by isolation, loneliness, remote working, unwanted solitude or a sense of alienation from the way society has changed in recent times. The goal is to meet others in a safe social setting. Who this is for Anyone who feels a bit lost in modern life or overwhelmed at times. Perhaps you feel alone or isolated. Maybe the world around you seems strange or remote or threatening. This can trigger feelings of depression or despair, which can be exacerbated by solitude. Maybe you are surrounded by people with whom you cannot connect. They are too different or preoccupied in ways that distance them from you. If any of this sounds familiar you are not alone. We are living through an epidemic of loneliness, unexpected solitude and despondency. The world has went remote which does not suit everyone. Many people feel lost and isolated, perhaps you do too. As we get older it becomes harder to meet new people and make friends. This is normal but feels abnormal when we have so much technology at our disposal. Everyone else seems to have the full life we lack and many have the online showreels to prove it. This meetup is a small step towards reversing that for those who either find it difficult to connect with others in real time or who just can't find others like them. Note: I am not a therapist and nor is this a therapy session. Just a meeting of the likeminded. Social anxiety If you suffer from social anxiety and find attending these kinds of events daunting, don't worry, you are not alone. The host is normally there before kickoff so you can always come a little earlier to check it out and he will be happy to chat if

Gamers Touch Grass Glasgow

Sat

📅 Every saturday

📍 G4 9BS

Gamers Touch Grass Glasgow is a relaxed social group for people who spend a bit too much time online and want an easy way to get out, get some fresh air, and meet like-minded people. At the core, we organise casual group walks — a simple, low-pressure way to get outside, move a bit, and have some easy conversation. No awkward networking, no expectations, just a chilled environment where you can show up as you are. But it’s not just about walking. After walks, we’ll often grab a coffee, and over time we’ll mix in other low-key hangouts — whether that’s casual meetups, food, or even the odd gaming session. The aim is simple: – Get out of the house – Get some fresh air – Meet people you actually get on with – Build real friendships over time Whether you’re into casual gaming, competitive play, retro classics, or just spend a lot of time at a screen, you’re welcome here. You don’t need to be a “hardcore gamer” — if the idea of a relaxed group and good company appeals, you’ll fit right in. All are welcome — any age, any background, all genders, all gaming tastes. Most people will be turning up solo, so you won’t be the odd one out. This is about keeping things friendly, laid-back, and consistent — a group you can drop into regularly, get to know people, and feel part of over time. If you’ve been meaning to get out a bit more and meet some decent people, this is a very easy place to start.

The group is run for and by the members, it's not just for the hosts. We're a group of like minded people that love getting out and about socialising. We've learned that life is too short to take seriously, and who can be bothered with all the drama anyway.

We're a varied mix of members, some are long term residents, some are relatively new to Glasgow or Scotland and some are just after a change of lifestyle. What we all have in common is that we love getting out and about, either in the great outdoors or socialising, and meeting new people. We've all made new friends in the group, and we'd like to ensure that every member does the same. So suggestions are always welcome either through the group on Meetup or on the Mad Hatters Facebook page. If you fancy doing something let us know, however crazy you think it might be. So, your hosts would like to welcome you to our events, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do and if you enjoy your experiences with Mad Hatters we only ask that you spread the word that the Mad Hatters are here to stay .... :-P For those who enjoy their social media experience, you can find us on Facebook too under groups: Mad Hatters Walks and Adventures. **The Boring

Glasgow Law Of Attraction and The Real You

Glasgow Law Of Attraction and The Real You

Tue

📅 Every tuesday

📍 G2 6AH

Welcome to Glasgow Law Of Attraction and The Real You! The Law Of Attraction, nowadays, is very popular and commonly taught, and with very good reason! Whether approached from a scientific, philosophical, or spiritual perspective, the ability to be fully empowered in creating our life experience is a very real and joyful one, and I'm very happy to see that more and more people are releasing old ideas, integrating the wisdom/perspectives, and enjoying this power to live more meaningful, connected, enjoyable, and fulfilling life experiences as a result! :-) However, not many of the teaching perspectives that currently exist really emphasise the main purpose and benefit of learning about and integrating this wisdom......the process of realising and becoming the Real You! As human beings, we each have a unique purpose, a unique experience, unique passions, and a unique skill-set……and, much more importantly, a deeper nature to our self, of which most of us are unaware even exists! There is a part of us (which is ultimately our true nature!), from which arises immeasurable peace, love, joy, growth, fulfilment, empowerment, wisdom, purpose, passion, abundance, creativity, confidence, and a sense of feeling whole, complete, fulfilled and at home in this world, regardless of what is currently in our life experience!! It is the true nature of every human being and all things, and we are here to realize it, feel it, be it, and have it be the awareness from which we allow our unique, amazing, wonderful self and life experience to emerge/unfold/arise! When utilising the powerful effects of the Law Of Attraction from this place and perspective, not only are we enjoying the experience that we want to have, but we are also fulfilling our true life purpose of aligning with and becoming who we really are! :-) The Glasgow Law Of Attraction & The Real You Group exists as a vehicle to inspire, support and facilitate personal growth and expansion, and and also to bring like-minded people together to create community! There will be regular Meditation & Development group classes, and occasional group workshops. At any Glasgow Law Of Attraction and The Real You event, a safe, peaceful, fun and loving space is provided where you can be inspired to find this true-nature place within yourself, and align with and further integrate the workings of the Law Of Attraction, as is guidance and support in doing so, and in your life experience in general! Although this journey to realizing and becoming your true nature and your true self is one that is ultimately undertaken by you and you alone, the group environment at each event is of immense value and benefit! We are all connected in the most amazing way, and for those of you who additionally wish to have the experience, it is a great space to make connections and companions with like-minded and resonant people along the way! Thank you for visiting this page, and I look forward to meeting you at an event soon! :-) Love and best wishes, Gordon x www.gordonrainey.com
