The Filthy Tongues are to perform a weekend of special semi-acoustic concerts from September 13th to 15th with an additional set which will include their old friend ( & poet)  Paul Hullah.

This will be a very special set of gigs and we hope you can join us. 

A note from Martin Metcalfe 

The Filthy Tongues and poet Paul Hullah were involved in creating a unique object a decade ago. As far as we know nobody had created an illustrated book of poetry accompanied with a vinyl recording featuring both the artist and poet singing and reading poetry.

This was an ambitious venture, an eclectic mix of electro, spoken word and Scotland's favourite underground band of the era (The Filthy Tongues). The book produced was called SCENES and documented sometimes directly sometimes in an obtuse way the goings on around the Scottish music scene(s) of the early and mid 1980's. A time of musical factions, cults and youth tribes and a time that also was the stalking ground of Hullah, Metcalfe, Shirley Manson.

Looking back it felt rose tinted but there was pain in that Bohemia, pain that birthed an art that still lives on in the recordings of the groups who dominated those nightclubs. Some of them went on to great things, some of them not so much. 

The Filthy Tongues and Paul have a special night planned. Miss it at your peril.
