It’s been 50 years since Glasgow Celtic
achieved the unimaginable by winning the
European Cup and becoming the legendary
Lisbon Lions.
On Our Way to Lisbon tells the story of
how, in 1967, Glasgow Celtic became the
first British team to win the European Cup
with victory over the mighty Inter Milan.
Two fans look back and fondly recreate how
the Bhoys in Green and White beat the
team who were hailed as unbeatable and
draped Europe in green, white and gold. The
wildly magnificent campaign comes to life
as two supporters become everything from
a vicious Swiss football team to the entire
population of Lisbon!
Put on those scarves, dust off your passport
and come with us as once again Celtic
steam roll over the best teams in Europe to
become the immortal Lisbon Lions.

The Best of Eddi Reader is the first career
spanning compilation by the supremely
talented, unique and charismatic Scottish
singer. A new double album that collects
thirty of her most consistently beautiful,
often deeply personal and intimate songs.
Featuring material from across Eddi’s
prestigious 30 year recording career, the
compilation includes the charming acoustic
pop of 1988 chart topper Perfect (with
Fairground Attraction), right up to her
remarkable 2015 version of Moon River and
Amy Winehouse’s Love Is A Losing Game.
Everlasting favourites are in abundance
including her 1992 recording of the Fred
Neil song Dolphins and 2003’s Wild
Mountainside (the poetic ballad written
and given to Eddi by partner and songwriter
John Douglas, included on the Classic Songs
of Robert Burns album).
“Just perfect – Eddi Reader gets every song
just right” - The Sunday Times
“Eddi Reader is one of my favourite singers of
all time” - Jools Holland

The captain of the East High basketball team
and the key member of the academic club
shock the student body by teaming up to
audition for the upcoming school musical!
This hit musical is all about being yourself
and following your dreams. Troy is best
known as the player who keeps the East
High basketball team on the scoreboard. Of
course, life isn’t always about athletics, and
as Troy slam-dunks on the boards, beautiful
and brainy Gabriella is raising the reputation
of East High as the key member of the
school’s successful academic team. Despite
their outgoing natures, no one would ever
peg Troy and Gabriella as theatre types.
When word gets out that this popular pair
has secretly chosen to reach for the stars
and try their luck on the stage, the students
of East High are about to learn an important
lesson in teamwork. Gear up for a musical
performance that will have you dancing in
the aisles!
