Organizer’s description

14+ (under 16s with an adult) Electrifying trad-meets-techno fusion with euphoric beats, bass and energy Tradition meets the dancefloor in this exhilarating performance from one of Scotland’s most exciting emerging acts. Led by harpist and producer Malachy Arnold, MAL reimagines the role of the harp, placing it at the heart of driving electronic music inspired by techno, house and jungle. Joined by Finn MacPherson on pipes and whistle, Macaulay Ross on fiddle, and Gillie O’Flaherty on synths and keys, the band fuses traditional Scottish and Irish melodies with euphoric beats, bass-heavy grooves and contemporary club sounds. Drawing inspiration from innovators including Martyn Bennett and today’s underground electronic scene, MAL delivers a bold, high-energy live experience that is both dancefloor-ready and deeply rooted in tradition. Why do we have a restoration Levy? Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building. As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.
