      DITKO!

      DITKO! A play in progress

      In the summer of 1965, Marvel Comics faced one of its most unexpected challenges when the artist of their best-selling come strip The Amazing Spider-Man quit without rhyme or reason.
      The artist’s name was Steve Ditko, and this play is an attempt to set the record straight on why the co-creator of one of the world’s most recognisable characters walked away.
      Set in real time over the course of one hour, Steve meets with his collaborator, Stan Lee, to inform him of his leaving the company. That’s all well and good but, Stan isn’t exactly satisfied with Steve’s enigmatic approach, and locks the pair of them in an office room, throwing away the key.
      Stan will stop at nothing to get answers.
      Steve will stop at nothing to get out of there.
      From Astro Domino, Ditko! A Play In Progress is a rehearsed reading of a show made by fans of the source materiel, who aren’t afraid to poke fun at the people who made it.
      With a cast of just three performers, Ditko! is premiering for the first time on April 12th, at 7pm, only at The Old Hairdresser’s.

      Tickets: £5
      Hang tight, true believers!

      James Kirk & Warren McIntyre w/Autocamper

      James Kirk (Orange Juice) & Warren McIntyre (Starry Skies) with their band featuring Hal & Michael (V-Twin). Support from Autocamper

      James Kirk is a founding member of Glaswegian indie legends Orange Juice and his jangly, melodic guitar riffs were integral to the “Sound Of Young Scotland”, which in turn gave birth to indie music as we know it and inspired countless guitar players. He also wrote their jangletastic song Felicity. A few months ago his old bandmate Edwyn Collins asked him, alongside original Orange Juice drummer Steven Daly, to join him for a sorta OJ reunion on his farewell shows in Glasgow and London…and they sounded fabulous!

      James has recently joined forced with Warren McIntyre of melodic pop folk-rockers Starry Skies, after he was asked to play Glas-Goes Pop (an inspired indie fest held in Glasgow every year curated and organised by Tita and Kenji) in 2022.
      They have become a prolific songwriting duo with their 1st single, limited edition double AA side Miss Green Tea and Costa del Culzean released (GGP-001 vinyl) in the Summer of 2025 to coincide with Glasgow Goes Pops 4th outing. An album is in the post!

      On stage they are joined by Hal on bass and Michael (V-Twin/1990s) on drums.

      Special guests are Slumberland Records recording artists Autocamper fresh off the release of their debut album ‘What Do You Do All Day?’ one of Monorail Music’s 2025 albums of the month!

      Second Sunday Sipping Sounds

      Now in it’s fourteenth year, the Second Sunday Sipping Sounds Series is surely one of the longest running amplified ‘ukulele residencies in the greater Strathclyde vicinity. Come gather ’round the hearth of the Old Hairdo for an enveloping early evening of the “innovative, heavily amplified, individualistic, boldly teetering on the brink of oddity” sounds you crave as you bask in the gentle flickering glow of some obscure visual fodder.

      Anna McLuckie ‘The Little Winters Tour’ with Tóchar

      Anna McLuckie is a Scottish singer, songwriter and Clàrsach player. Raised on classical and traditional music, Anna’s writing draws on her musical beginnings and also takes influence from her love of popular music and more experimental sounds. Her music sits in a world of contemporary folklore; her songs layered with interweaving harmonies, story led lyricism and free form structures. Based in London, she has performed in places around the world from Rockwood Music Hall NYC, to a concert series in Russia, to house shows and folk sessions. She’s appeared at festivals across the UK and supported the likes of Jake Xerxes Fussell, Rozi Plain and Richard Hawley. In 2024 Anna took part in the Making Tracks residency and toured the UK with renowned global roots musicians. She is currently being mentored by English Folk Expo (Soundroots UK) and Kick Arts UK. Her first full length album ‘The Little Winters’ is set to be released at the start of 2026.
