Tonight the team did a little light up job in support of @epilepsy_scot #PurpleDay to Victory Baths in #renfrew
Did you know, this year is the centenary year for the baths?

Does anyone remember seeing Sean at the Arts Centre? It's one of our favourites and what a nice chap he was. Happy birthday!
Sean should have been 55 today... Here's a bit from his show '30 Somehow' on the subject of birthdays (and death).
(The full show is up on his YouTube channel, and via his website seanhughes.co.uk, which has lots of other 'delights' as he promised in his bio)
It's been a while since we posted and although we've not been back stage, we've certainly been working in the background! Our view isn't that much different to a year ago... Still looking at piles of CLS 😂
Over the past few days we've been helping @ArtPaisley derig their pop up gallery space. Well done to all the team on a successful exhibition!

Our curtains up moment today as libraries opened and our buildings became populated once more.
Definitely time for a nice cup of tea and start on the next task. Onwards!

I saw the sign and I opened up my library...
It's a day of A boards and signage today. Looking forward to our libraries opening on Monday.
You might spot a few familiar faces in this video...
We miss you all. We will be back.

We loved this night too. @OfficialSAMA always a good line up and very cool with the visuals as well as live music. @PaisleyArts
Last gig was @PACBackstage 13th March
@elaorleans and @A_Wasylyk
Such a fantastic night. So missed live music and looking forward to it's safe return.
Who remembers the show John Peel's shed from a few years ago? @JohnOsRadioHead has written and recorded more shows and they are as wonderful as you might think. No @ballboymusic this time tho I'm sure you could listen to the show then play some music for a true PAC experience!
Last year I made a theatre show called You're in a Bad Way. It's about Glastonbury, friendship and getting older and I thought this would be a good weekend to properly record an audio version. You can listen to it here. soundcloud.com/john_osborne/…
We're missing all of our shows right now and this is one we were really looking forward to at @PaisleyArts
Right now, we'd be feeling that happy #wegotthroughopeningnight relief you get after tech week.
Until next year...
It's hard not to be downhearted tonight when we should have opened the world premiere of John Byrne's Underwood Lane at our @RL4Leisure co-producing partner's venue, Paisley Arts Centre. Till next year though....

We've missed seeing Leigh at pac today. Always a cup of Earl Grey and lots of chat. It's great to see her with this video and craft session. Today's #virtualpropoftheday is a bradawl. Took a bit of googling to get that spelling right! We hope you enjoy as much as us #clydebuilt
