THE MIDNIGHT SHOW – The Braw, the Gallus and the Brave.
As the clock strikes midnight, we’ll be raising in dram in honour of those fighting to make this world a more inclusive and a much better place. Raise a fist and join us in fighting back against those who’ll try and tell us what to do with our bodies, our lives and our minds. Let’s celebrate non-conformity, fighting the system and knowing that quite frankly if we’d been born 300 years ago, we’d all be tried for witchcraft… or at least public indecency.
As Big Mel said “Yeh can take oor lives, but you’ll never take our FREEEEEDDOOOOMMM”
