3. Those keepers of creepy crawlies and other interesting animals, Zoolab, will be visiting Denny Library, in Davies Row, on Tuesday, August 8 from 11am. Tickets for this up close and personal with nature event will be going faster than a polecat down a pipe. Call (01324) 504242 for more.

4. Suggs and the nutty boys bring their classic catchy ska pop to Falkirk Stadium tomorrow (Friday) from 7.30pm. Expect all the hits – Baggy Trousers, It Must Be Love, My Girl, One Step Beyond, Our House, Wings of a Dove, some new numbers and lots more.

6. Before Sir Ed of Sheeran arrived on the scene, KT Tunstall was the undisputed master of the loop pedal. Unlike the ginger troubadour though, she has gone on to embrace the band format and you can see her strut her stuff from 6.30pm at Kelvingrove Bandstand in Glasgow on Friday.
