The Great May Day Cabaret
Oran Mor, Glasgow
THIS Great May Day Cabaret did exactly what it said on the tin at a packed Oram Mor, as a stellar line-up marked international workers' day with a rousing mix of music, poetry and comedy.
Part tribute to Chris Bartter, whose too-early demise last autumn robbed the trade union movement of a great campaigner and supporter of the arts, the night was produced by Glasgow Friends of May Day and Fair Pley and sponsored by Unison Scotland.
