EDITORS NOTE UP THE TOONHello little starlings and welcome to the November issue of the wee yin.

As the cold settles in, we hope our wee magazine will warm you up with some insight into what’s happening this time of year in our won-derful city. Since most of our hours are now in darkness, nights out tend to become our focus in this wintery season. Just for you, Daniel MacKay talks to EZUP about the success of their club night and the appearance of Domenic Cappello (one half of subculture – the city’s favourite sub club duo) alongside Dixon Avenue Basement Jams at La Cheetah Club later in the month. This Issue, ‘Maybes Aye, Maybe Naw’ reviews A Play, A Pie and A Pint – Oran Mór’s theatre programme that has been running for 11 years. We love keeping you up to date so have a read of ‘Wit’s Happnin’?’ for some of Glasgow’s main events in November. I am thrilled that this month we have the entertainer Fauda Babu in for a blether sharing his thoughts on everything from fashion to travel and I’m sure you will agree he is truly one of a kind. One of my favourite ways to spend my weekend mornings, when I’m feeling fresh and up nice and early is wandering around Glasgow’s car boot sales where I have picked up many a gem, and possibly some harmless germs… but don’t let that put you off! These are now Glas-wegian institutions and if you haven’t been before I hope our photo report will persuade you that they are a must. Stevie Broon’s meat auction is a real highlight. Ainur Imangali went to our Universities to see if the International students agree that ‘people make Glasgow’. Our final wee article we have for you is our Scran piece and this week Chinese is on the menu. A Glasgow favourite. However, Han Shao’s Chinese banquet is a lot more sophistocated than your weekend take away.

Until next month, catch ye versace!

EZUP is a Glasgow Club night, now with a monthly residency at La Cheetah, that began little over two years ago and has already hosted massive talents like Grammy award winning House and Garage legend Todd Edwards while also supporting local talents such as Jasper James, Mia Dora and are the brand that gave Denis Sulta his Glasgow debut. This month EZUP will be hosting Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, along with Domenic from the leg-endary Glasgow partnership of Harri and Domenic (of Subclub fame) on the 20th of November. The club night is garnering a reputation around the city for its electric atmosphere and stellar guests. The men behind the brand are Johnny Wallace, 24 and Nicky Ferrie, 23, both Glasgow born and bred with a passion for its legendary music scene, and both University of Glasgow grad-uates. Nicky and Johnny decided to set up the company after finishing university because it was something they were both vehemently passionate about. It’s not exactly the first business idea you would expect from a Law graduate and an Accountancy graduate but EZUP’s success is testament to their commitment to the brand.

Johnny says: “EZUP is a collective that plays underground music, specializing in House, Tech-no, Disco and Funk. The idea of the night came around from hosting low-key parties in people’s houses and basements. The demand to be a part of these quickly grew and we thought we should extend our reach.” They certainly have extended their reach, recently celebrating their second birthday with Rolando and playing the EH1 festival in Edinburgh on the same stage as Skream and Jackmaster.

The night began at the Berkeley Suite on a packed Friday night, with residents Nicky, MArk and Devln on the decks, which resulted in owner Fergus McVicar asking EZUP to take the reigns and bring Sunday nights back. “Fergus gave us our start, and we loved the Berkeley Suite but the de-mand on a Sunday night was too volatile, it wasn’t consistent enough so we wanted to move to a weekend,” says Nicky. The move from the Berkeley Suite to La Cheetah opened the door for a new crowd. Johnny tells me: “We became more serious after we moved and more musically educated, with the focus being more on the acts while still trying to create that carefree party atmosphere that people associated with us.” An atmosphere that saw a wall get ripped off at the appearance of Jimmy Edgar at La Cheetah back in April and countless clubbers dancing in Glasgow’s famous sweatbox.

In May EZUP hosted Optimo’s JG Wilkes back to back with the Revenge and residents Nicky MArk and Devln were asked by the Drygate Brewery to help them celebrate their first Birthday. In re-cent months EZUP has started to extend its appeal throughout the city. They have got themselves on the bill for La Cheetah’s New Year’s Eve bash alongside globally recognised acts like DJ Sprin-kles.

The guys behind EZUP are proud of their roots and try to get local acts on their bill as much as possible with Mia Dora and many others having played for them already. “We want to back local talent and make it feel like a summer festival. We fully intend to broaden our horizons with hopes to eventually host nights in Europe and one day have our own record label,” says Johnny. EZUP have already crossed the border with one festival in London under their belt at London Fields Brewery. They are certainly not a brand lacking ambition. EZUP are also on point in terms of their taste and the acts on their line-ups with recent guest Ger-man producer Barnt immediately being called back to Edinburgh and Glasgow after he played for them.

“It’s great for me as a DJ to be able to warm up for the acts we get. Playing before Todd Edwards and Jimmy Edgar to a packed La Cheetah with people going crazy,” Nicky says as he grins. It’s no wonder he’s smiling with the calibre of the acts he gets to play with.EZUP show no signs of slowing down with a weekly show on Camglen Radio 107.9FM (also availa-ble online) that airs on Friday nights from 8-11pm and a Soundcloud full of mixes from their resi-dents. Tickets for EZUP are available on Resident Advisor.

MAYBES AYE, MAYBES NAW A Play, A Pie and A Pint Review

By 11:55am a queue has already formed outside the box office for A Play, A Pie and A Pint, the lunchtime theatre compa-ny running since 2004 which has become something of an institution in Glasgow’s West End. The premise is simple; a new fifty minute play is performed every week at 1 o’clock downstairs in the iconic Òran Mór pub at the top of Byres Road. As well as enjoying some lunchtime theatre the ticket price also includes a pint, or glass of wine or soft drink, and a pie or vegetarian quiche to enjoy while you’re watching the performance (I was particularly impressed by the large thermos of gravy also available to pour over your lunch!). Plays run Mon-day to Saturday and tickets usually cost £12.50, though students can get theirs for a tenner on Mondays and Tuesdays if they bring their student card.

The Òran Mór itself is a pub well worth visiting, a former church it is now a thriv-ing arts and entertainment hub and an impressive number of well-known Scottish actors have graced the Òran Mór stage. Photographs of some familiar faces line the walls of the staircase leading down to the venue, among them Robbie Coltrane, James MacPherson and Colin McCredie also known as detectives Fraser and Jar-dine from the crime series Taggart, Alan

McHugh recognisable for a number of Scottish television programs including Limmy’s Show, and Gavin Mitchell, better known as Bobby the Barman in Scottish sitcom Still Game. At the bottom of the stairs is a pho-tograph of the founder of A Play, A Pie and A Pint, the late David MacLennan. MacLennan worked in Scottish Theatre for over forty years as an actor, writer and producer before he sadly passed away last year. His ground breaking theatre program continues to thrive however with a dedicated production team headed by Susannah Armitage and Sarah MacFarlane. Associate Pro-ducer Sarah thinks the success of A Play, A Pie and A Pint is largely due to its accessibility, “we try and break that

barrier of theatre being elitist or for peo-ple from a certain class. You get a pie and you get a pint, I think the minute you’ve put that in your title people immediately realise that it’s something casual.” There is certainly a relaxed atmosphere as I find a seat among the tightly packed rows of wooden tables and chairs. Once seated it feels almost rude not to speak to the elderly gentlemen sitting next to me. Bill and Richie come every week regard-less of the show simply because it’s a great venue and great fun. Sarah believes that the social element of A Play, A Pie and A Pint is another reason it works so well, she explains “a lot of people come along and they don’t even look at the program, they don’t know what’s on, people get here for 12 o’clock, they come downstairs, eat their pie, have a blether to someone sitting next to them, quite often they’ve never met them before, so it’s a social event”. The play on this week is Happy Hour, a very funny and superbly acted dark com-edy by first time writer Anita Vettesse. Giving new writers a chance to show their talent is something that Sarah says A Play, A Pie and a Pint is proud to be in a posi-tion to do. She explains “we try and get a variety in the season, we’ll have well estab-lished writers like Liz Lochhead alongside a writer who’s never been commissioned before, it’s fantastic to be able to give peo-ple that opportunity”. Anyone can submit a script and any students who are budding play writes are encouraged to give it a go. The variety of plays put on at the Òran Mór is also something Sarah considers vi-

tal to their success. From drama to come-dy to mini musicals, as well as internation-al seasons, A Play, A Pie and A Pint cover a wide spectrum of theatre. After the performance I get chatting to a group of international students from The Glasgow School of Art who are in the audience. Windsor Phillips, a student from New York tells me they are attending the play as part of a poster deign project for their course. Encouraging more students to come is something Sarah says they re-ally want to do as they welcome as diverse an audience as possible. I would certainly encourage anyone to go. If you’ve been put off by theatre in the past or it’s simply something you don’t think you have the time for, then let the Òran Mór change your mind. Next time you’ve got a lunch hour free go and experience some ground breaking Glasgow theatre and enjoy the wonderful combination a play a pie and a pint. In this case Aye.

DID YE KNOW...That Blochairn is Scotland’s Biggest

Car Boot Sale

Taking A Trip Doon Death Road

The track is getting smaller and steeper the longer we ride, it is only 3 metres across at most, and I find myself squeezing my hand on the brakes almost the entire time. I cycle around the corner and everyone grinds to a halt, at a landmark infamous to anyone who knows of Death Road. The trail from here as far as the eye can see is littered with crosses and flowers as tributes to those who were unfortunate enough not to reach the end of this path and ended up paying with their lives. Carlos, our guide, informs us this is the Devil’s Corner, the most dangerous part of the trail and of the hundreds of bikers that perish every year, most of them do it on this passage. It is hard to imagine how any part could be more dangerous than the last; there have been no barriers at any point on this 69-kilo-metre road. Unfastening my goggles and getting a better look, the threat was clear. The cliff faces were as straight as an arrow, with drops of 600 metres and corners impairing your sight to the degree that if you wer-en’t riding along with the cliff face immediately on your inside one mistake could send you hurtling to your demise. Ever since I heard of this road the Inter-American Development Bank named the most dangerous in the world it had been my utmost desire to experience it during my travels across South America. When I awoke at four o’clock in the morning, adrenaline pumping through me, I had no idea the attentiveness I would need for it. I had booked through Downhill-Madness, a more expensive company after hearing horror stories from travellers who opted for cheaper alternatives. People at my hostel spoke of faulty brakes, bargain-basement protective equipment and stickers plastered onto cheap knock-off bikes. I wasn’t going to risk my life for a bit of money, although it appears many do. The sun had not yet risen, and as I clambered into the back of a small white mini van for the 56 kilo-metre journey ahead I quickly inspected the bikes fastened to the roof to ensure I wasn’t going to be another name mentioned between travellers the next day, everything seemed up to scratch.

My travel companions Mark, Jake and Gerry and I were all silent until Carlos, who spoke perfect English, passed some forms back to us and avoided eye contact as he said, “You need to sign these wavers. You don’t sign you don’t ride.” We looked around at one another before Mark laughed and said, “They’re just making sure that if we die we know it’s our own fault.” We joked we literally had to sign up for this, none of us were dissuaded though because we knew what were getting ourselves into, or at least we thought we did.After four hours cramped in the back of the van we arrived. We all jumped out and acquitted ourselves with helmets, pads, and goggles. We lined up in order of height and had our bikes handed to us, not an exact science by any means but by this point I just wanted to start. The tour began on a spacious highway allowing everybody to acclimatise to their bikes on a road that meandered around the mountain. After a cautious start on Death Road we reach the Devil’s Corner. It is a tradition for riders to form a line depicting the evolution of man from one side to the other. I am second in line from the humungous cliff drop and I have my arms on Jake’s shoulders. Jake is about twice the size I am. He turns to me looking deadly serious and says: “Don’t even think about joking around, if I fall you will be coming with me.” I am too busy keeping my feet steady to dream of doing something like that. After our break we begin on our way again and I notice the road is looser now, and as I skid around corners braking, rocks pop up and tumble down the cliff out of sight. My hand begins to ache from being clenched all day. The slender road gets narrower because of the speed I accelerate to. The angle of decline increases and I become wary of each corner. I take my time to approach them from a wide angle. I notice if I stay too close to the inside I am in danger of falling after I pass, concentration is key. To me this is a disci-plined mental test not a physical one. I am in the zone now and I start to lean with the curves of the road feeling out the best way to ride it with everything taken into account. I am relying less and less on my brake and as I pick up speed there are points where my stomach feels hollow and I think for a moment that I have misjudged something. I ride through the beautiful San Pedro waterfall on one of the easier corners and the it is evident the most difficult parts are behind me The road starts to widen and is beginning to level out. I can see just one more steep decline before arriving in Chulumani so I give it my all and as I do two local kids jump out and throw rocks at me. That was all I needed. Survive the whole of Death Road and two kids kill me for a bit of fun. I pull into the bar with the rest of the riders about 5 hours after starting, hardly pedalling on a mountain bike trip and sit down to a rewarding cold beer, but to be honest, it was finished too quickly.

Standfirst: Ten years after being named the most dangerous road in the world Daniel Mackay travels to North Yungas Road in Bolivia to experience the bike trail that kills an estimated 2 to 300 travellers every year.

Aisha (Cyprus), Strathclyde Uni-versity:

This is my 6th year in Glasgow and I’m in love with the city. I did my undergraduate programme at the University of Glasgow and after that I decided to continue studying and do my Masters in a different place, so I picked Strathclyde. You know, I have been in dif-ferent countries and cities but Glasgow suits me the best of all and I think it is because of people here. They are very helpful. People here helped me especially when I needed help – in university, on the streets, in public transport, and shops. Even if I spoke Eng-lish badly, they did their best to understand me and make me understand them. This city is well planned out, it’s hard to get lost here, and everything is easy to get to. It’s calm and not overcrowded which makes it easy to live in. I chose Glasgow as my destina-tion of study mainly because of both Universities’ rankings in my subject are high, but at the same time I wanted to live in a peaceful and calm city like Glasgow rather than a big noisy megalopolis like London. So, I am very happy with my choice. I am living actively here and trying to be involved in different social events. For instance, during my undergrad-uate programme, I took French courses, participated in Glasgow University’s Economic Society and organized social events within University. Glasgow is complete-ly different from my hometown. Here you have so many things to do and places to visit. I would defi-nitely prefer to stay here after my graduation if there is the chance of a job or proceeding into a PhD.

Rohan (India), Strathclyde uni-versity:

I have been here for 2 months. What I first noticed in this city is people’s friendly attitude, they are very approachable. You can go and talk with them and it is much easier to interact with people here than in my hometown. That was what I love the most about Glasgow. The city also attracts me with its gorgeous views. If I were to talk about studying in Glasgow, I would say I am sure that my University is one of the best in my subject (global economy and finances). Apart from studying, I mostly hang out with my friends, and visit different events in the city. The last one I attended was the Glasgow bonfire – it was nice. I definitely like this city.

Putrizka (Indonesia), Glasgow Caledonian University:

I have been in Glasgow for about 8 months, that’s because I took pre-sessional courses here within the University. I was fond of the idea of living abroad without my family. I feel I am now more independent, that was a reason driving me to come here. I love everything about the city except the weather, but it still doesn’t prevent me from hav-ing fun here. What I usually do is walk around, do some shopping, and some travelling. Travelling is definitely the big-gest amusement for me because I love to see new places and in Scotland, particularly in Glas-gow, everything is so different from my hometown - which is Jakarta. I really like the scenery around the city so that’s why I walk, to see all this natural beauty as often as I can. I feel comfortable here. The only thing I’m still adapting to is the weather.

It appears that people really do make GlasgowWhat is Glasgow like from an international perspec-tive? Is it suitable for students? How is it living here? We interviewed students from three universities in

STUDENTS OF GLASGOW

Morgan (USA), University of Glas-gow:

I absolutely love Glasgow because for me it is a perfect sized city. I have lived in London, New-York and other huge cities and found them very overwhelming. While Glasgow has a city centre where you can find all the activities you are interested in. There is always some-thing to do and you have everything you need around you at the same time. I found Glasgow very warm, and I enjoy the warmth that it brings. I really like to go to different concerts in the city, to walk around visiting museums, and meeting my friends at different pubs. I also have a cinema pass, so I watch movies all the time. I imagine living here for the next couple of years, I definitely will if I find an interesting job here. Glasgow is my home, and for me it is very important to feel that. I am a military kid, I was moving to dif-ferent cities from the age of 16 and I haven’t lived anywhere longer than 6 months. So for me is very impor-tant to find my place and in Glas-gow I feel very comfortable, I feel at home here. I also think that Glas-gow is a perfect city for students not only because it is easy to live but also there is a lot of activities you can do and be engaged with. More-over, Glasgow is really well located so you can travel easily to other cities and it’s affordable which is a big thing for students.

Susan (China), University of Glasgow:

I have been living here for a year now. It’s very different from Bei-jing - where I came from. It’s bet-ter than I imagined. Here I prefer doing things that interest me, like volunteering in Film Festivals and doing evening courses in the Art School. The thing which amazes me is that here there are so many interesting people who I meet every single day. The thing that I remember the most about Glasgow happened recently. As I was filming my project for GUST (Glasgow University Student TV) about homeless people I bumped into a homeless guy in the street. We talked and then he sang a song for me. It was nice. I love Scotland, I like Scottish cities and when choosing my university, I talked to Scottish and English people and understood that studying and living here would definitely be better for me. I don’t know whether I will live here after I graduate but for now Glasgow is my hometown. What distin-guishes Glasgow from Beijing is that here everyone has a voice to say whatever they want, everyone has a chance to be themselves and to be involved in different organ-izations or societies to express themselves. So I like Glasgow, particularly for that reason.

Iqra (Pakistan), Glasgow Cale-donian University:

The culture of communication is special here. I mean, you can ask for help on the street and people will help you. It makes you feel comfortable because the people in Glasgow are really friendly and are up for helping if you ask them. Another thing I enjoy here is Glasgow city transport, in my opinion it’s organized quite well so I can easily travel around the city in different ways and choose which transport op-tion is better for me. I chose to study in Glasgow because of my friends’ recommendations who have already studied here and the fact that this University has the 2nd best international support office in the UK - as it was my first trip abroad these things influenced my decision. What I find interesting besides studying is sporting activities, particularly hiking. After some settling in and and adjustment period, now I can say that I feel very comfortable here.

A Chinese Style Dinner ‘I think as a Chinese student sometimes I cannot be happy with Scotland’s food, because it seems a little bit strange to me. So most of the time I choose to go to a Chinese super-market and make Chinese food with my friends.’------Sim-iao Gao (Emma)Emma is one of my best friends in Glasgow. Like me, she comes from China, and this is her first year in the UK as a postgraduate student. As a Chinese student, she is extreme-ly proud of our unique history, beautiful language and of course, Chinese food! I can completely understand her, be-cause from ingredients to cooking methods, there are many differences between China and Scotland. For example, we like eating Chinese chives, which are a type of very healthy vegetable that I haven’t found in the UK yet. In terms of cooking methods, we prefer steaming. For example, if you bring fish to a Chinese person, they will choose to steam it instead of frying it like most British would like to do. This is because we believe steaming is the best way to preserve the original taste and the nutritional benefits. We probably have another reason to explain why we love steaming so much, in ancient China our ancestors often used pottery as cooking pots as steaming is a perfect match for pottery. So since that time, steaming has become the most representative cooking method for Chinese food. Based on these differences, most Chinese students prefer cooking by themselves. It’s a good way to relieve homesickness and save money as well!

Emma is a wonderful Chinese girl and also an excellent chef! On Halloween evening she invited me to her apartment and we had a delicious dinner together. If you are a fan of Chi-nese food or you are a Chinese student in Glasgow looking for something to remind you of home then read on to learn about an excellent Chinese supermarket with very reasona-ble prices, and also a brilliant 100% Chinese recipe from my great chef---Emma!

On Halloween afternoon, we went to the biggest and most famous Chinese supermarket in Glasgow - SeeWoo. Sounds a little bit strange? In Chinese it is called ‘Si He Hang’. SeeWoo is on Saracen Street near the city center and in this huge su-permarket you can find almost everything. It sells a variety of ingredients for Chinese cooking, Chinese condiments, drinks, snacks and so on. If you want to prepare a sumptuous Chi-nese dinner for your family or friends, you should definitely visit SeeWoo! Emma and I bought lots things that afternoon, including pork chops, Chinese cabbages, and also some condi-ments such as rice vinegar, cayenne and soy sauce. We spent £10 and 5p, a really a good price!

Chinese food is not difficult to make. Emma made an amaz-ing meal for us called ‘sweet sour pork chop’. It is really easy to make even for a beginner. But the most important point is, it is absolutely delicious! Here is the recipe from Emma, you can follow the steps or do some slight adjustments depending on your own preference.
