The third Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival kicks off tommorow night with a concert at Glasgow’s Old Fruitmaket, featuring a rather fine line-up of Karine Polwart, former Delgado Emma Pollock, Alasdair Roberts, and a joint performance from James Yorkston and Adrian Crowley performing the songs of Daniel Johnston.
This is the first of two Music Like a Vitamin concerts which will take place during the month of October. The second is at Edinburgh’s Picture House on October 21st, with an indietastic line-up of Frightened Rabbit, Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones, Attic Lights and Teenage Fanclub’s Norman Blake performing with Euro Childs.
Both concerts are £5, and ticket information is available here. The festival is also looking for inspirational and uplifting song suggestions from the public. You can submit your songs and find out more information about this here.
The twenty-two day long festival also includes events across Scotland for theatre enthusiasts and film aficionados. To find out what’s on, and to learn more about the the Festival, visit the official website.
Andrew Lindsay is a Glasgow-based singer-songwriter and deputy editor of Stereokill.
