LEVISON WOOD: Journeys through the Badlands and Beyond.
Sunday, 4th November 2018.
In his second adventure-filled live theatre show, Levison Wood will share tales from his most recent journeys across some of the most perilous danger zones on earth. With behind-the-scenes moments from his travels over the Caucasus mountains and his circumnavigation of the Arabian Peninsula, Levison will challenge the myths and stereotypes that plague these ancient lands.
Levison’s fascinating and humorous anecdotes reveal the real life stories of the ordinary people he met who call these places home: from Palestinian fighters to Iraqi snipers; refugees to Bedouin nomads. If you want to know what it’s like to be ambushed by ISIS, have tea with Hezbollah and cross pirate-infested waters in a wooden dhow - then don’t miss Levison in person this year.
Killer Queen are back for ONE NIGHT ONLY, tomorrow night, Friday 5th October @ 7:30pm!
Killer Queen have been performing their tribute to Queen’s concert since 1993. Their expert musicianship, extraordinary energy and accurate portrayal of the world’s greatest live band have rightfully earned Killer Queen the title of Queen tribute royalty.
Thrilling sell-out audiences across the globe from the UK to Moscow and in 2016/17 their first tours of USA, Killer Queen recreates the high energy, powerful phenomenon that was Queen live.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to the Pavilion this autumn and beyond!
We are sad to hear the news this morning that Barry Chuckle of the famous Chuckle Brothers has passed away peacefully at the young age of 73.
We have all been brought up with their hilarious antics from our childhood through to adulthood and still we loved them.
Our thoughts are with all of the family at this time. Rest in peace funny man, you brought fun to us all. A real comedy legend!
A delightful find on a Friday afternoon. We found this hiding under the lining paper in our circle foyer.
Well today is the day that Sauchiehall Street (allegedly) finally reopens and guess what ... the council have kept it a secret! We have all searched the world’s most popular search engine, several of the biggest social media outlets, the Glasgow City Council website and not a mention of this grand reopening. Clearly, where this is the life and blood for all traders, who have for the past 19 weeks seen footfall in this once great street fall to an alarmingly low rate, the council continue with their total lack of communication.
All businesses have all suffered hardship without much help or guidance from the local council and time and time and again, faced barriers and hurdles that would be fit for the European Games to stop them from working.
The council have had 135 days and still cannot get it right.
As expected, there is some championships in Glasgow that we cannot read enough about and that the Lord Provost can’t stop tweeting about.
From start to finish, they have neglected the people that pay rates and council tax 12 months of the year and have treated us all appallingly.
The council should be ashamed from the bottom to the top. We hope they all enjoy their flagship European Games, businesses in this area won’t have the time, we are all spending our valuable time just fighting for survival.
Since it opened in 1904, the Pavilion has stayed close to it roots producing and providing a traditional venue for Comedy, Music, Variety and all other areas of Entertainment.
Situated in the heart of Glasgow’s Theatreland, the Pavilion is one of the oldest theatres in Scotland but is well equipped to produce the best in entertainment in the 21st century.
There is something for everyone at the Pavilion, come and see!
