Here's what you can get up to in Scotland this week...

1 CLASSICAL music meets hip hop with the launch of Steg G’s dynamic album Surface Pressure at the Grand Ole Opry in Glasgow tonight. The seminal album will be performed in two 45-minute sets (with time to head to the bar in the middle) and this album focuses on the deep undercurrents of addiction and poverty. Sunny Govan is the perfect place for this launch and a few tickets are still remaining for this great event. Steg G will be supported by The Glasgow Barons Orchestra and conducted by the one and only Paul McAlinden. The Grand Ole Opry tonight, 7pm. Tickets available at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/surface-pressure-album-launch-tickets-264604698777

2 ALSO in Glasgow the mighty SWG3 Yard Life Gallery has a new exhibition from revered artist Prefab77 aka Peter Manning. Proudly anti-establishment and visually bloody gorgeous. The exhibit will officially open on Saturday at 12 noon until April 22. Whilst you’re feasting your eyes, feel free to nip into the super stylish Acid Bar where the phenomenal local heroes Ziques have a pop-up restaurant offering awesome brunch, lunch and all-day deli.
