Half My Heart Beats at The 78 this Saturday

We're back at The 78 this Saturday from 9pm!  The last few months one or other of us has missed our regular slot but we're back, the original Half My Heart Beats dream team (!).

We'll be playing indiepop, anti-folk and girl groups and entry is free.

If you're not familiar with The 78, it's a really ace pub on Kelvinhaugh Street that also sells vegan food until 9pm every day. They have great drink offers too, like £2.50 for a pint of Williams Bros lager!

Hope you can make it along on Saturday night.
