PayFest 2019 - Glasgow's Big Equal Pay Party


So here's the latest news about Glasgow's big equal pay party - PayFest 2019.

The live band performing on Saturday 6th July 2019 will be the sing along sensation 'Massaoke' who have played everywhere from the Glastonbury Festival to the Edinburgh Fringe - to Glasgow's George Square.

Massaoke play some of the best-known singalong anthems of all time and the words of their songs are projected onto a giant on-stage screen, so that audiences can join in the fun by dancing and singing their heads off.

More details on PayFest 2019 to follow soon including details of ticket sales - so watch this space.

  

PayFest 2019 - Glasgow's Big Equal Pay Party (03/04/19)


So the good news is that the tickets for 'PayFest 2019' - Glasgow's big equal pay party - have now arrived.

The plan is to sell 1,000 tickets at a cost of £10 each, but all  the proceeds from ticket sales (@£10,000) will goes towards acquiring a fitting and lasting tribute to the Claimants and their long fight for equal pay in Glasgow City Council.

Action 4 Equality Scotland is meeting all the costs of PayFest 2019 which include the hire of The Barrowlands and all the other costs of what should be a fantastic, fun-filled evening on Saturday 6 July 2019.

Tickets will go on sale in April sometime (via A4ES) so that we can ensure tickets go directly to the Glasgow Claimants instead of being put on general release.

More details will follow soon.

  

Glasgow 'PayFest' - Playlist (15/03/19)
I get enquiries every day about the arrangements for 'PayFest' - Glasgow's big equal pay party which is taking place at The Barrowlands on Saturday 6 July 2019.

Now this is a complicated business to organise, as  everyone can well imagine, and as soon as I can share information on the blog I will do so.

In the meantime, let's have some suggestions for the PayFest playlist and here's great track from a Glasgow gal to get the evening going - 'Shout' by Lulu.

  

PayFest 2019 (26/02/19)



The arrangements for 'PayFest 2019' are still at the early planning stage, but the evening will be a celebration and a big 'Thank You' to Glasgow Claimants for their support and hard work during the long fight for equal pay.

Tickets for the event will go on sale at an affordable price and all the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards creating a suitable and lasting tribute to Glasgow's historic equal pay dispute. 

Lots of people have already been in touch with their ideas and suggestions - more details will follow soon.

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
