Football in the Meadows

So, it's March. It's spring (to some), and with spring comes outdoor activities (and flowers popping up in the Meadows).

Therefore we are going to have a good game of Football in the Meadows! (That's the S-word kind of Football for the Americans)

And this is regardless of weather! So bring out your old shoes, put on some rough clothing, and get ready for a great match!

The footballing will take place on Wednesday the 3rd of March from 2pm to approximately 4pm (or untill it gets dark).

Meet up is in the meadows closest to the ISC (that is through the gate just round the corner from the ISC).

See you there!!!

Argentinian Night

On Monday the 8th of March at 8pm come to the ISC and discover what that long long country called Argentina has to offer.

Our Argentinian hostess Angeles will treat you to some traditional empanadas (stuffed pastry) and sweet alfajores con dulce de leche, and drink Argentinian mate instead of British tea.

Then, you'll have the chance to watch some LIVE tango dancers and maybe even learn some basic moves!

In between there'll be Argentinian music, facts and pictures to learn a bit more about that country on the other side of the ocean.

Hope to see you there!

25 tickets at £3 go on sale Monday the 1st of March at 12pm.

Even More Comedy!

Yes, it's true! Even more Comedy will be shown at the ISC.

Thursday the 4th of March at 6.30pm (again after the Coffee Evening) we are moving to a slightly different genre - Series!

We will show two episodes of two different series - The classic "Blackadder", and the newer "The Mighty Boosh".

Blackadder is in effect four different series, each in their own time of history, but at the center of all is Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) and his opportunistic, though cowardly, attempts at personal gain. By now a classic in British comedy, and amongst much other voted second best British sitcom ever.

Secondly we have "The Mighty Boosh", originally a stage act, but by now perhaps most known as a TV-series. The Mighty Boosh is the surreal experiences of Howard Moon (Julien Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and many many others (such as the ape Bollo).

Hope to see you there!

Comedy Galore!

Remember the extra treats you were promised on the events poster?


Well, here is one :-)


Come down to the ISC Thursday the 25th of February at 6.30 (the lounge will be kept open after the coffee evening) and watch some comedy!


More specifically, have you ever wondered what the Brits humour is? Where it comes from?

As a first of three evenings of British comedy you'll be introduced to those that (I daresay) created the modern comedy: Monty Python!

The other two evenings will take you closer to the modern day, but that is for later.

Now is the time for the Python's. We will show "Life of Brian", a classic involving such lovely things as Jesus (with a Scottish accent), Brian, crucifixions, the Peoples Front of Judea (not to be confused with the Judean Peoples front), the gravely misunderstood Biggus Dickus and the at all-times important message "Always look on the bright side of life".

We hope you'll join us for this FREE event, just be there, BYOB and eat eat eat our snacks!

See you there!

This week in Bannermans!

This week at Bannermans, we've got some fun & funky indie tunage on Wednesday from Moya, along with touring band Major Major and local psychedilic boys Edmund Lunar.

Thursday's all about the loud and heavy sh*t, with Dragnet bringing the grunge, and Battle A dinosaur n' The Devilz Rejectz keeping it loud and fast.

friday, well, friday's a winner; Like AC/DC? We've got Bon's Balls! Without a doubt the best trbiute act in the country, and with local support coming from Edinburgh rockers The Black Lights, this one's sure to put a smile on your face.

Saturday's all about the getting down, with Edinburgh's own KISS/Prodigy bastard offspring MetalTech, along with Bomb Berlin, Beats Of Rage and Lycanthrope all bringing the riffs, screaming vocals and tight jeans.

Valentine's day? Come on down from 9pm and get Cranachan to belt out your favourite ballad for some (probable) brownie points.

As always, we've got INTERNATIONAL NIGHT with Karaoke on Tuesdays from 10pm, and you can choose a veritable feast of drinks from as little as £2.00 every night of the week!! Hopefully see you all there!!
