Rather than cancel an evening of live music because of the big Scotland game you can now do both!
That was the thinking by Alan McEwan of The Bungalow. He told Tommy McGrory: “It’s looking like a busy one. We moved the start time, so now you can watch the Scotland v Germany Euro game then after the final whistle you can dance away to original 2tone inspired songs and foot-stomping favourite tunes from The Skapones. Whether it is dancing in celebration or not we need to wait and see”.
Its free entry but you need to get a ticket to book your place. Doors are at 7.00pm and Kieran Hepburn will be on stage to belt out some Scottish favourites and get you in the mood for the first game of Euro 24.
