Calling all women - do you want to get to better grips with maintaining your bike? Or do you have excellent bike fettling skills you'd like to share with others? Or do you just want to spend a couple of hours every fortnight messing around with bikes in likeminded company? If you said yes to any of these, then Spanner Sisters is for you! Each session will consist of a short explanation/demonstration covering the basics of our chosen topic, followed by a chance to get some hands on practice, either on your own bike or one of the bikes in the workshop. We'll try and pair people up so they can share skills, tips and techniques so whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced bike wrencher, there will be something for you, we hope! As with all our Community Workshop sessions, we don't want price to be a barrier, so there's no fee for attending but a donation would be appreciated to help cover our costs and allow us to keep the workshop running. You can bring your bike if you want. especially if you want to practise on it, although if it is an ebike you will need to be able to remove the battery to bring it into the workshop (this is a condition of our insurance).

**Regular Music presents Tide Lines plus special guest Calum Bowie** 🎉 10 YEARS OF TIDE LINES! 🎉 We’ve taken our 10 year celebrations all around Europe and spent the summer playing festivals across the UK, but there are still a few parts of Scotland we’ve missed on our travels this year… So we’re hitting the road again! We’re heading your way for a few more shows before 2026 is out, with our good friend Calum Bowie opening the shows. Tide Lines are a band whose story stretches from the wild expanses of the Scottish Highlands to the beating heart of Glasgow. In June 2025, they celebrated a landmark moment with their fourth album Glasgow Love Story via their own Tide Lines Music label, which landed at No.1 in Scotland and No.11 in the UK Official Album Charts — their highest UK chart position to date and third Scottish No.1. Across three earlier albums — from the sweeping romanticism of Dreams We Never Lost through to 2023’s An Ocean Full of Islands (which charted at No.13 in the UK and No.1 in Scotland) — Tide Lines built a reputation for expansive, anthemic songs and magnetic live performances. 2024 was a milestone year: three euphoric nights at Glasgow’s legendary Barrowland Ballroom, 14 summer festival appearances across the UK, a sold-out European run through the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. They closed the year with a 14,000-ticket Scottish tour that included a triumphant return to the Usher Hall. Now, as they mark 10 years together, the story continues with the recently released Glasgow Love Story, an album rooted not in island remoteness but in the pulse of the city they now call home.
