The Gatsby Club presents … St Valentine's Day Massacre
Glasgow's dedicated 1920s night is returning with a special St Valentine's Day Massacre theme!
Throughout the 1920s mobsters engaged in street battles over issues of control. Gang warfare reached its climax in the St Valentines Day Massacre. On February 14, 1929, seven men were killed in a Chicago garage by five unknown men wearing police uniforms. Witnesses were unable to establish their identity, and the coroner's jury did not find sufficient evidence to prosecute anyone. Al Capone was blamed for the Massacre, even though he was in Florida at the time. To this day, the perpetrators' identity remains a mystery …
With this in mind think gangsters and molls, cops and robbers, vamps and vixens, Al Capone, black and white movies, and hidden identity!
Venture within the opulent, lavish period surroundings of Glasgow University's Debates Chamber, and wet your whistle with The Gatsby Club's exclusive range of cocktails! Sit back and enjoy a variety show of music-hall comedy, singers, burlesque acts and more, hosted by those caballeros of cabaret, The Creative Martyrs!
After the show, take in Gatsby's own fabulous house band, before The Man in Tweed spins records from the early 20th century to modern, era-inspired numbers, keeping toes tapping into the small hours as you're borne ceaselessly into the past!
Tickets will be made available on the door but to ensure entry on the night tickets can be booked through the online box office.
