Our What's On guide to gigs, events, shows and things to see and do in Glasgow. 'The Glasgow Boys' Exhibition
9th of April - 27th of September Kelvingrove Art Gallery
The Glasgow Boys consisted of several men, most of whom were trained in, or had strong ties to the city of Glasgow. These men were brought together by a passion for realism and naturalism and this showed through in the pieces they produced. Along with this passion for naturalism, they shared a marked distaste for the Edinburgh oriented Scottish art establishment, which they viewed as oppressive. Driven and motivated by these ideals they embraced change, created masterpieces, and became Scottish icons in the process. Among the painters associated with the group were Joseph Crawhall (1861–1913), Thomas Corson Morton, Thomas Millie Dow, Sir James Guthrie (1859–1930), George Henry (1858–1943), E. A. Hornel (1864–1933), and E. A. Walton (1860–1922). David Gauld (1865–1936), William Kennedy (1859–1918), Sir John Lavery (1856–1941), Stuart Park (1862–1933), William Wells (1872–1923), Sir D. Y. Cameron (1865–1945), James Paterson (1854–1932), Alexander Roche (1861–1923), Arthur Melville (1855–1904), James McLachlan Nairn (1859–1904), and J. Quinton Pringle (1864–1925).

Marina and the Diamonds1st November of 2010
Old Fruitmarket A lot of intriguing musical reference points have been thrown at singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis: her backing group the Diamonds, like Florence's Machine, don't actually exist. It shouldn't perhaps be a surprise that she's being hailed as the new Kate Bush, this being apparently mandatory for any white female singer who doesn't appear in the public consciousness bearing a spray tan, a sad backstory about an ailing relation and the earnest assurance to Dermot O'Leary that singing is her life and she really, really wants this. More striking are the other names that have been mentioned in conjunction with her own, none of which exactly square with an artist whose single Hollywood is currently in the Top 20: Laura Nyro, Sparks, Super Furry Animals and Aphrodite's Child, the demented prog rock band in which Vangelis and Demis Roussos originally plied their trade.
