Traditional Celtic music at its best! The iconic Tannahill Weavers play fire-driven instrumentals and songs, and haunting ballads - all with a good dose of humour. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of their material is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.

"Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures." -Glasgow Celtic Connections

📢 LAST CHANCE TO BUY! 📢

Get ready to be transported into a world of nostalgia, magic and laughter coming to us after a dazzling run at the Edinburgh Fringe!

The Very Best of Tommy Cooper, written, directed by and starring Daniel Taylor, is a captivating one-man show celebrating one of Britain’s best entertainers – just like that!

Laugh along as Daniel steps into Tommy’s gigantic shoes and does an amazing job of bringing this comic genius back to life - recapturing his trademark mayhem and misfiring magic for anyone who missed the original or for those who were left wanting more.

We're lit purple for National Recovery Month. 💜

Organisations around the world are raising awareness throughout September, honouring the resilience, strength and courage of people recovering from addiction and mental health challenges.

At The Beacon, our Creative Recovery group, delivered in partnership with Your Voice Inverclyde, offers transformative opportunities for people in recovery, as well as their families and carers, to rebuild confidence, connect with others, and express their experiences through the arts.

On Friday 4 September, from 12pm to 3pm at The Wyllieum, we're celebrating the launch of Creative Recovery's second publication, It Will Be Alright with an Onion. Everyone is welcome to join us for this celebration of recovery, creativity and community.

But that's not all! Our Creative Recovery participants have also been hard at work creating The Great Game of Existence TM, a new work devised and written with award-winning poet Kevin P. Gilday. They're excited to perform it later this month and share their work with audiences. Tickets are free, and you can book yours using the link below.

If you'd like to make creativity a part of your recovery journey, or you know someone you think may benefit by taking part, learn more on our website here: https://www.beaconartscentre.co.uk/take-part/creative-recovery/

Our walls are being prepped and readied for the installation of Muddled Syncopation - our major new exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Fraser Taylor, exploring the shifting interplay between humanity and landscape and the tension and harmony between people and place.

You'll be able to explore fourteen large-scale canvases, constructed using oil paint and collage, referencing a diverse range of sites including the artist’s studio and the coast of Orkney, interwoven with the human form.

Pop on down to the Beacon from Saturday 5 September to see these extraordinary pieces for yourself.
