The Langan Band
They played here at Hogmanay, they played our re-opening after our mega flood, they played our first gig back after Panny Dee. And they’ve torn the roof off here a good few other times.
Since then they’ve released an album, toured Australia, sold out Celtic Connections and are about to take over the USA. The Langan Band are back. Don’t miss it.
You can believe our blurb, or have a look at the boys in action…

Summer Solstice Party, with SambaYaBamba and Karawane
Celebrating the longest day, with a solid dose of dancing. It's been a long time in the making and a bit of a musical bucket list moment for team OBI, but finally we welcome SambaYaBamba to rock your world. Here's what they say.....
Pure, organic, dance music - powerful and irresistible. SambaYaBamba is a musical tour-de-force hailing from the sundrenched streets of tropical Glasgow. A 30-odd-piece drumming bateria and brass section rooted in the musical traditions of the Brazilian carnaval yet at the same time, very much tailored to a the Glasgow crowd. They are equally at home on a huge stage, in a street parade or in a basement club. Their set twists and turns from full scale samba to drum and bass and beyond with a tightness and commitment to the rhythm that is a joy to behold. Local legends and loved across the samba scene.
Karawane (pronounced kara-va-neh) are two global music DJs and producers, focused on bringing people together through the bonds of rhythm and sound. Celebrating music without borders, they have been instrumental in bringing new energy to the scene in the Scottish Highlands via their residencies, touring parties, radio shows, live streams, festival performances, and their "Karawane takeover" live music events, which add live djembe, cajon, Latin percussion, bands, dancers, vocalists and big visuals to the mix.
Growing up playing roots reggae sound systems, funk and soul nights and hip hop clubs in Scotland, Karawane have a solid background in underground music culture, and their 20 years living and working abroad and collecting music from around the world has added a new dimension to their dancefloor. Expect floor-shaking afrobeat, hip-swaying salsa, dancefloor funk to brassy ska, tropical cumbia and Caribbean island sounds to Balkan and Maghreb flavors and all the brassy bits in the middle. Karawane nights are an opportunity to take a shared journey and to cut loose with friends old and new.
Resident DJs at Eden Court's Under Canvas, and Kings in Dundee, regulars at YAAM in Berlin and the Hoguera Del Ritmo parties in Barcelona, stage curators at Belladrum and other Scottish festivals, Karawane are about connecting, and platforming a diverse range of artists in new and interesting collaborations. Bringing Messenger Sound System to Lochinver Village Hall, or DJ Metralleta and the Comando Party from Barcelona to the woods of Nethy Bridge, Psychedelic Cumbia with Los Chichanos in the heart of Inverness, or supporting the Glasgow Africa Balafon Orchestra on the Isle of Skye; It's all about the experience of beautiful music Good people, good times.
Signed to the Samedia Trax record label, they have released a steady stream of dancefloor tracks, and have plenty in the works for 2024.
Expect a deep blend of dancefloor edits and originals from Soweto to Sao Paulo, Medellin to Marakesh, New York to Nairobi, and expect to dance.
A few comments on social media from our guests:
“What you are doing and what you have achieved is so wonderful. No boundaries, all ages, creeds, persuasions, backgrounds and walks of life. Just the love of music. You can feel acceptance and connection as the evening builds and grows. Lovely experience, great people, the best vibe. Thank you truly “ (Mo King)
“I've been to a few of your gigs and have had happiness spread throughout my whole being - so needed. It's profound medicine” (Deborah Jay Lewin)
"One of the best nights out I’ve ever been to… and I’ve had a few good nights! Fantastic..keep doing what you do!" (Louise Maclean)
Your host OC will also play spin a few numbers, in celebration of a 15th summer at the helm of this wonderful river side oasis.
Food trucks, outside bar - fun fun fun - sun sun sun.

The Cuban Brothers & Shaka Loves You
It’s long been said that Cubans sing when they speak, dance when they walk, and woo with a love song.
So it should be of little surprise that The Cuban Brothers’ peerless funk soul review blends sexy, SOULFUL MUSIC, with jaw-dropping B-BOY ACTION and RIOTOUS COMEDY.
From humble beginnings, Miguel Mantovani, Young Dominico and Kengo San have built Los Hermanos Cubanos – The Cuban Brothers – into a legendary outfit that continuously sells out shows across the globe.
The Brothers have recently been extending their family, with Shaka Loves You becoming honorary members and touring together.
This will be kick ass. And will sell out. Don't hang about for tickets.

Comedy Night: Susie McCabe
TICKETS`£15: Tickets here
Susie took her first steps into comedy as part of a drunken dare. Most people have to do a shot or strip. Well, Susie was drunk with her clothes on and building a career out of it.
After a successful career working in the construction industry Susie has cemented herself as one of rising stars of UK stand up. Her rise through the ranks has been nothing short of meteoric.
She continues to be one of the fastest selling acts at the Glasgow international comedy festival, with multiple Scottish comedy awards under her belt for Best Headliner and Best Show which she collected for her Solo show Domestic Disaster. Susie even took it to Edinburgh Fringe for a sold out run in 2019.
Her raconteur style and sharp punchlines makes this Glaswegian one to watch.
A naturally funny storyteller and a genuine stand up.
Highly recommended.Kevin Bridges
Susie is up there with the best
Fred MacAulay
Susie McCabe is damn funny.
Stewart Francis
McCabe is hilariously down to earth and has a fantastically positive outlook. About as far down the opposite end of the spectrum from disappointing as you could get.
Broadway Baby
The ever-reliable susie mccabe delivers plenty of chuckles.
The Scotsman
Prepare to laugh yourself silly.
