What's On & Listings
1. Fans of Pink Floyd and their progressive melodic meanderings don’t have to wish they were there at one of their gigs anymore – they can just head along to Falkirk Town Hall tomorrow (Friday) from 7.30pm to see tribute act MacFloyd play classics from the Animals album.
2. The fairytale about the blonde porridge pilferer is brought to life with a ton of music at Falkirk Town Hall from 1pm on Sunday. It’s fun to sneak into a bears’ home and mess with their stuff, but in reality Goldilocks would be looking at a 12-month supervised community payback order.
