Live music from Glasgows very own indie rocker riot grrrl Cherry with special guests.

Cherry hailing from Maryhill who has shared stages with indie legends such as The Libertines and Glasvegas, is bringing her one of a kind headline show to McChuills. Joining her is the excellent Reena Forrest plus special guests.

We’re having a disco in the bar next weekend. But it’s not any old kind of disco, this one is a bit different. This one is a proper old-school mobile disco…

We’ll let our old pal Billy Kiltie fill you in….

There’s not many DJs play here that we make sure are booked for another night before they leave the building, but Phil Kieran is something special. His debut gig here back in February was one of the most unique, mindblowing and flat-out genius sets McChuills has ever seen, hence us going through the diary while he was still playing. So, once again alongside our comrades Manifesto of Bliss, we are bringing the great man back to the Acid Arch at the start of August. 

On the 1st Saturday of every month catch Glasgow legend Andrew Divine, bringing an eclectic mix of beats to the bar as we go digging with Divine!

Formed in 2025, Little Grandad's songs sound like a sort of Venn diagram of rust-belt Americana, Brooklyn-informed slacker-rock, and warm yet ramshackle British indie guitar rock. It also sounds nothing like those things. It’s chaotic, teeters on the brink of collapse, but somehow hangs together. It’s properly exciting because you can’t put your finger on what it is, and neither can they.

Anyone who’s seen them here before will tell you that their live show is absolutely mega, perfectly recreating the sound, the look and the vibe of the Kraftwerk live experience. All the tracks you’d want to hear are played live, nailing that unique sound without being too slavish that you might as well just play the records. It’s a fine line and Man Machine get it spot on.

Playing two separate sets, this duo brilliantly recreate the sounds of both bands live and direct, mixing synths, samples and drum machines with DJ sets to create a relentless, high-energy party that is full on from start to finish. Expect big beats, futuristic funk and jacking house music, all accompanied by a mega laser light show.

The four-piece were formed by three schoolfriends (vocalist/guitarist Rohan Fletcher, lead guitarist (and Jet Black’s producer) Adam Sanders, and drummer Oli Williams who Fletcher and Sanders nabbed from another school band).

The trio all chose to study at the same university where they plotted the plight of their new band together. Bassist George Green arrived when Fletchr Fletchr were already almost fully-formed, ushered on stage for a show merely days after joining.

Oscar Blue is an Irish singer-songwriter and storyteller who finds meaning in the mundane - the ordinary moments and small flashes of human connection that often say the most. A social care worker by day, his songwriting is shaped by the people and stories he encounters: resilience, loss, gratitude, loneliness and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. He turns that lived experience into cinematic folk storytelling, soaring rock soundscapes and songs that feel both deeply personal and built for the room.

She came home with songs and no interest in making them quietly. She found Aaron Liebman, a multi-instrumentalist producer whose taste ran deep into emo, the kind of obsessive ear that hears a song once and starts rebuilding it.

Andrew Vance was another multi-instrumentalist guitarist with shoegaze instincts and a producer's feel for texture. Daniel Bermudez was the Valley kid raised on folk and the Smashing Pumpkins who played drums like he was trying to reconcile the two. None of them would have formed this band on their own — Rifkin's songs were the gravity that pulled them together.
