MUSIC: BEACH HOUSE

Baltimore dream-pop band Beach House released their new album, Thank Your Lucky Stars, earlier this month, and tonight the duo debut their new material in Glasgow. Inspired by Cocteau Twins, Brian Wilson and This Mortal Coil, Beach House broke through in 2010 with third album Teen Dream. The band are calling Thank Your Lucky Stars a return to simplicity, with fewer instruments and a greater focus on melody.

O2 ABC, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow

THEATRE: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

In honour of the Agatha Christie Theatre Company’s 10th anniversary, the author’s stage adaptation of her own novel And Then There Were None comes to Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre tonight. Starring some well known British TV faces - from Paul Nicholas to Deborah Grant - the story follows a group of 10 strangers lured to a remote island under false pretences and slowly killed off one by one. In true Agatha Christie style, everyone is a suspect until proven innocent or found dead.

Until October 31, King’s Theatre, Leven Street, Edinburgh

FOOD & DRINK: THE BUTCHERSHOP POP-UP

Glasgow-based carnivores should get themselves along to Hutchesons Bar & Brasserie tonight for the opening of their Butchershop pop-up. Treat yourself to a meat feast, whether you fancy their Burger vs Steak Experience or a massive Tomahawk steak to share. The pop-up will only be around until Wednesday evening, so get stuck in while you can.

Until October 28, 158 Café Bar at Hutchesons Bar & Brasserie, Ingram Street, Glasgow

FILM: MAKE MORE NOISE! SUFFRAGETTES IN SILENT FILM

After the release of new film Suffragette earlier this month, Edinburgh’s Filmhouse are showing a selection of silent films from the BFI National Archive showing how real suffragettes were portrayed on the big screen while campaigning for the vote. A combination of newsreels, documentaries and comedy films show the suffragettes in both good and bad lights, but their determination and anarchic spirit is infectious and inspiring even a century later.

Until October 29, Filmhouse, Lothian Road, Edinburgh
