Much more than Mother's Day weekend

It may be Mother’s Day on Sunday, but that’s not all that’s going on this weekend. Before you spoil your mum rotten, take a look at all the other great things you can get up to before handing over the card and flowers:

In Dundee tonight, Mark Thomas tackles comedy, journalism, theatre, activism and general mayhem in his Trespass show. Moving on from his 100 Acts of Minor Dissent, you can be sure of one thing – no-one knows where this show will end up! Catch it at Dundee Rep from 7.30pm, tickets £15.

If you love music but aren’t quite the budding rockstar, head to the Tolbooth in Stirling this evening for a free intro to music journalism. Journalist, radio presenter and blogger Nicola Meighan leads proceedings in this week’s Friday Night at the Tolbooth Presented by StirlingDIY Press Collective.

Those in Nottingham get something a bit more classical with the West Bridgeford Operatic Society’s 70th Anniversary performanceof Sweeney Todd. See the demon barber like you’ve never seen him before, at the 2pm matinee or 7.30pm Saturday evening show.

Saturday night is the night to pay homage to one of the most iconic British bands of the 80s – Joy Division. Head to Krakatoa in Aberdeen from 8pm whereyou can hear tribute act New Dawn Fades strumming right through to the wee hours.

Glasgow’s Barrowlands hosts a special fundraising evening on Saturday night, raising cash for the Clutha Trust. The iconic gig venue is host to loads of local talent on the night including Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5, Girobabies and Have Mercy Las Vegas among others, for just £10 of your finest sterling.

If Mother’s Day hasn’t knackered you out by spoiling your number 1, then make the most of Wee Dub Festival 2016, held at various venues throughout Edinburgh. There you can catch a stellar line up from 7pm right through until 3am, so grab your dancing shoes and go for it.
