Based on a workers' revolt in the city of Glasgow that broke out with the Declaration of War in 1914. It follows the tale of the workers and their leader, John Maclean, through a time of great unrest. Eventually the rulers of Britain sent troops and tanks into Glasgow, in January 1919, to prevent a full-blown revolution they feared would engulf the entire country. Hulett has painstakingly researched the background to the story over two years and the end result is a CD release of nine original songs with extensive booklet notes, and the extraordinary full concert version of "RED CLYDESIDE". CD's available at the gig. This performance is the one and only Melbourne performance. AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE!

The session will draw heavily on the key lessons learned about progress and approach from the first five years of Best Value in the UK. The intention is to help managers and policy planners avoid a number of the pitfalls encountered by UK local authorities in designing and evaluating their approaches to Best Value. Drawing heavily on case study examples, the session aims to identify common barriers to implementing Best Value and highlight a number of manageable solutions for authorities to progress in designing their approaches. 9am - 5pm Friday, April 5th The New Council Chambers For more info contact: the Best Value Co-ordinator Centre for Management Quality Research at RMIT University, Ph: (03) 9925-7513, Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ART in The New International Bookshop Gallery Cactus!
