A very chilly day in Glasgow. If you are struggling to stay warm, remember that Glasgow Libraries have the heating on and offer free hot drinks. No need for a library card to snuggle up on a seat.

FST is pleased that the Scottish Government has committed to increase the culture budget by £34m next year, with almost £54m for Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funding. This is better than expected, and we hope it is a positive sign for the future of the sector.

“You can take a risk, push it a wee bit, and I like that. It’s always been a bit anarchic and I’m just keeping that tradition alive.”
