FRIDAY CLUB NIGHTS AT THE UNION TO BE CHANGED FROM ‘P.U.L.L.’ TO THE BOP
The Sabbatical team has announced that Friday club nights at Club 601 will change its name from P.U.L.L. back to The Bop, the name given to Friday nights in the past years. The change comes after a string of complaints from the student body about the sexually inappropriate nature of the name P.U.L.L. and the […]
On The Rocks – Subcommittee Applications
by Kit Klaes Right at the start of term things become incredibly hectic. Your health and wallet are recovering from Freshers’ week, every society seems to be meeting at the exact same time, and some people are busy with something called class… never really heard of it. Amidst this chaotic time, don’t miss out on […]
STAR Demo Sign-up
The time has come to get your creative juices flowing and show us what you’ve got. We’re looking for keen broadcasting beans who want to get on air. You don’t need any previous experience, just a concept, ideas and tunes (on a USB pls). All co-hosts will need to be present, but one man shows […]

Directed by Sean Connery’s son Jason, this film follows the life of professional golfer Young “Tommy” Morris who unfortunately passed away at the young age of 24.

Cool Shit By Kit – Week 1
By Kit Klaes Though I finished my third Freshers’ Week having gone out/consumed alcohol every single night, as I reflect on the week: I admit defeat. I sadly am no longer the vivacious youth that I once was. The idea of a cheeky nandos and movie night entices me more than my regularly opted for […]
REVIEWED : Starfields
by Marina Carnwath Check out our footage of the night : STARfields ’15 In retrospect, it’s always difficult to distinguish the quality of an event from your own perception of it, so I’m just going to say now that I, personally, enjoyed Starfields. It was just a great night. It made one attendee feel “warm […]

REVIEWED: Everyman – A Medieval Morality Play
The journey of Everyman, a classic medieval tale, found new life at the Byre Theatre this week. As part of On The Rocks festival, it transplanted the action of the traditional play to the modern world, set within the context of a dream. The 15th century story follows the protagonist Everyman, who discovers his time […]
Smitten by Seafret
The lights were dim. The smell of coffee permeated the air, and into Rector’s café walked an unmistakable ginger afro, otherwise known as ½ of Seafret. The other ½ close behind—a slightly shorter man with equally beautiful hair. Kit, having never heard of them, comforted Annabel as she went into a panic mode (not an […]
On The Rocks Caricature Workshop
The first thing you notice as you walk through the familiar doors of the Barron Theatre is the French folk music playing in the background, transforming the small and intimate theatre into a street scene from a foreign language film. A just small enough group of 14 amateur artists and keen beginners are gathered around […]
Jamnesty: Presented by Amnesty International
Jamnesty, presented by Amnesty International, delivered a relaxed and enjoyable evening of live music last Saturday night as one of the first events on the On The Rocks line-up. Last year’s hit premiere of Jamnesty was held in the ‘Building Site Bar’ and was a genuinely great live music event that matched the lively and […]
Spring Awakening: A New Musical presented by the Just So Society
Energy and enthusiasm are the main selling points of the Just So Society’s new production of Spring Awakening. Performed in the recently reopened Byre, the space is considerably superior to the Barron for a performance of this nature. The confines of the latter works fantastically for plays of an intense or dramatic nature, but Spring […]
Ouroboros Presented By Mermaids Performing Arts Fund
This is not the first time that I have been asked to judge a St Andrean’s final contribution to the theatrical world we have here, but rarely has it felt so bittersweet. In her four years here, Katie Brennan has proved herself as one of the town’s most competent producers, and a reliable face on […]

The (one-horse) Race for AU President
Sarah Thompson is running unopposed for the role of AU president. While it is hugely implausible bordering on impossible that RON will win, STAR will look briefly at her role and why she implores you not to vote RON. Thompson, like Mathewson, is running for re-election and a lot of her focus is being placed […]
