l Acclaimed, award-winning bluegrass-with-attitude band Rose's Pawn Shop has added an extra Scottish date to its first UK tour, which coincides with the release of its latest album, Dancing in the Gallows.
The Los Angeles-based band, which has toured its high-energy show extensively in the US since 2006, will now play Bannermans in Edinburgh on Monday, March 4 as well as the Grapes in Stranraer the previous evening.

l NVA's participatory, psycho-geographical illuminated performance work, Speed of Light, is at Salford Quays in Greater Manchester from March 21 to 23. Having debuted the work in Edinburgh as part of last year's International Festival, the company took it to Yokohama, Japan, at the end of October last year, where it was also seen in a waterfront setting. Unlike in Edinburgh, it is free and non-ticketed to watch at the Quays.

l Classical chart-topper Andre Rieu, the violinist and orchestra-leader who has wrangled the Strauss repertoire from the Musikverein to the sports arena, will be visiting Glasgow's new Hydro venue on the Broomielaw at the end of the year. The December 21 date is one of just seven in Britain and Ireland on his And The Waltz Goes On tour, and tickets are already on sale. The maestro promises songs from the shows, music from the movies, spiritual and folk songs amongst the diet of three beats to the bar.

l Kirsty Whiten, a winner of The Herald/Miller Homes artist's residency in Paris when she was a young graduate, has a new show at her sister Amy's Recoat Gallery in Glasgow opening on March 8. Her West End Bestiary is not a collection of photographs of Byres Road on a Saturday night but rather drawings, paintings and murals based on the half-human beast of legend.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
