MUSIC: RANDOLPH’S LEAP

Part of the ‘Nothing Ever Happens Here’ gig series, Glasgow eight-piece Randolph’s Leap will be bringing their folk-tinged charm across from the west for a gig at Edinburgh’s Summerhall. The group’s first official LP Clumsy Knot was released back in 2014 and received critical praise for their witty indie pop sensibilities.

FILM: TELL SPRING NOT TO COME THIS YEAR

Tell Spring Not to Come This Year follows a single unit of the Afghan National Army over their first year operating in Helmand without NATO backing. The film shines a light on a much under-reported voice in the war in Afghanistan. Co-director director Saeed Taji Farouky will be attending for a post-screening Q&A session.
