Schur

Andrew Schur plays King Tut's Wah Wah Hut on Wednesday 21 October, bringing a live show that blends classic rock and hip-hop. It's a mid-week one, so if you're planning it, keep in mind it's a Wednesday night rather than a weekend slot.

The set sits right at the intersection of those two sounds, with the guitar-driven weight of classic rock running alongside hip-hop's rhythms. It's a pairing that doesn't usually share the same stage, and that's exactly where the show does its work, pulling from both traditions in a single set. If you're into the grit of old-school rock and the flow of hip-hop, this is the kind of night that puts them in the same room.

And the room itself is part of the draw. King Tut's is at 272a St Vincent Street in Glasgow city centre, a 300-capacity venue that's been around since 1990. It's one of those small stages that's punched well above its weight over the years, with NME naming it 'Britain's Best Small Venue' in 2011 and 'quite possibly the finest small venue in the world' in 2007. Radio 1 called it the 'UK's Best Live Venue' three years running, and New York Magazine ranked it number 7 in its 'Follow Your Bliss List'.

It's a room with a long memory, too. This is where Alan McGee signed Oasis back in 1993, and since then it's hosted Radiohead, The Killers, Pulp, Snow Patrol, Manic Street Preachers, Florence & The Machine, Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit and Paolo Nutini. All those names started on the same small stage that Andrew Schur will be standing on that Wednesday night. So, if you're fancying a mid-week gig in the city centre, you'll find him at King Tut's on 21 October.
