Sunday mornings and Royal Conservatoire Coffee Concerts are a match made in heaven. What an…read moreinspired idea, and at just £10 for coffee, cake and a concert (£7.50 concessions) an absolute bargain! I was lucky enough to make the very first Coffee Concert of the season and it was a useful introduction to the venue and what it might offer to the general public. Coffee and cake was served in the cafe post-concert where the performers and organisers mingled and chatted with an enthusiastic audience. Nice touch. Aside from an varied programme of concerts and performing arts staged by students past and present and visiting world-class talents, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (previously known as RSAMD) has a Box Office and large cafe at its main entrance up those imposing steps. The corridor between the cafe and the Stevenson Hall (where the coffee concert was held) is lined with photos of the college's alumni - a veritable who's who of the arts, music and theatrical world. I was absolutely blown away by the acoustics at the Stephenson Hall which really did justice to the singers and musicians who provided us with a terrific show. The seats in the auditorium were very comfortable with ample leg room but then I'm a bit shorter than the average person! Tip #1: If you need more leg room in the Stevenson Hall then select an end of aisle seat (at the stairway) in one of the blocks of stalls either side of the main block of seating. Hope that makes sense? Tip #2: If you are looking for somewhere very inexpensive to eat, drink and/or meet up in town the cafe here may be just the ticket. Geared mainly for students but also open to the public the daily specials included vegetarian and vegan dishes (hurrah). A generous cup of tea cost 80p and a Dear Green Coffee cost £1.40 (in a lidded cup so you can take it away if you want). Tip #3: Ample sockets available for charging phones and laptops (and possibly free wifi but don't quote me) Pop in and check it out for yourself if you haven't already done so and keep an eye out for their events programme.

I was looking for a driving instructor and found Raz completely by chance. I was very nervous about…read morelearning to drive and hoped that I can get a nice person to teach me - and was not left disappointed! Raz is an excellent instructor with incredible amounts of patience and a lot of experience. He never stopped encouraging and supporting me throughout my learning experience, and taught me not only how to pass my test, but also how to drive on any roads under any conditions and enjoy it. I've never had a class that I did not look forward to. I would strongly recommend Be Safe Driving School to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive or brush up on their skills. Especially, if you are a bit stressed out about it - Raz has an absolute talent to make people calm down, focus and get better! Emma

It times out regularly without letting us resume from where we were, so we have to repeat the same chapter multiple times. The result is repeating hours and hours of progress. It asks for answers to security questions without showing a question, making it impossible to answer, and then you can't continue. This is crazy. It's 2021 and it feels like something from the 1980s. Do not take this course!!!!

Born from the ashes of the Pollock Free state and the community spirit generated and propagated by…read moreit's lengthy and highly publicised battle against the Governments desire for yet another motorway bypass, the Galgael trust was began in the early 90's down by the Clyde in the once thriving ship building area of Govan. With fierce and determined eyes set on the building of a trust that would bring work and meaning back to the local area, founder Colin Macleod (RIP 2005) and his clan launched the Galgael trust with humble means and accommodation. But with the backing of the community and the belief of doing something right, they have established themselves as a invaluable local amenity offering modern day apprenticeships, advice and support for those in need. As believers in the practical and aesthetic relevance of traditional Scottish boat building and craftsmanship, Galgael seeks to offer meaning to the nature of work in a very simple and organic (in the truest sense of the word) way. I can't speak any higher of this organisation and its moral and ethical stand point. Please make an effort to check them out on the web or in person at there premises or any of the various festivals they organise and attend. Slangevar

I gave up dancing when I was around 12 and I've regretted it ever since. I have so many friends who are always in dance shows and whenever I go to see them I wish I could be in them too! But I think I'm too old now to train to do any serious dancing. A couple of years ago I found Dance Factory and as they have a huge range of adult classes from beginners to advanced learners I decided to give it a shot. I went to the Hip Hop classes on a Thursday night and I had so much fun! There was a huge age range from 17 right up to about late 30's, so I didn't feel silly going. The teacher is so nice and the routines were always fab as was the music. The classes are £5.50 each and last for around an hour, you just pay per lesson which is great because you can fit it around a busy schedule as if you can't go one night it's no big deal as you haven't payed a hefty subscription fee. In addition to Hip Hop classes, they also have, Jazz, Ballet, Belly Dancing and Dance Gymnastics. I haven't been to the Dance Factory for a while but I'm definitely going to go back soon, it's a fun way to keep fit and I always left feeling really happy. So whether you're a total beginner or more experienced and just want to get back into dancing again then this is the place for you!

Employers expect less from staff so for a dance school to treat parents of children this way, I find it poor!
