Bungo in the Back Lanes

Local festival Bungo in the Back Lanes celebrates its tenth year this month.

On Saturday 21 June from 1-4pm a host of stalls and events will run the length of the lanes between Nithsdale Road and Marywood Square.
Activities include a guided 'architecture walk', beginning at 1pm outside Sammy Dows pub on Nithsdale Road, looking at the work of Alexander Greek Thomson. The celebrated architect was a Strathbungo resident himself, and his influence shows in the community's unique style.
For the kids there will be a Children's Garden on Nithsdale Lane complete with bouncy castle, face painting and games.
A jazz band, along with other local musicians, will be providing entertainment, with, for those inclined, a real ale and wine tent and beer garden to oil proceedings along. And there will be a conocupia of other stuff to see, do, eat and drink, all put on by local people, businesses and organisations.
The whole aim of the day is to help Stathbungo people get to know one another in a convivial atmosphere, and locals are also encouraged to get invloved. So to set up your own stall or to volunteer to help in any other way have a look at the Strathbungo Society's website www.bungoblog.com or phone 423 7756
You can also get a gander at pics from last year's event in the G41 gallery.
