14+ (under 16s with an adult)

Acclaimed musician, poet, director and actor Saul Williams tours his new album Leap Life, his first solo full-length in seven years. Named after his leap-year birthday, Leap Life is an expansive, genre-defying work shaped by voice, rhythm and intuition. Moving between spoken word, jazz, hip-hop, ambient composition and ceremonial sound, the album finds Williams continuing his decades-long practice of using art as a transformative force. With 'Leap Life,' Williams expands the definition of what music itself can be.

For nearly three decades, Williams has occupied a singular place in Black culture, resisting the confines of genre across music, literature and film to use art as a transformative device. He starred in Sinners which earned a record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations; co-wrote and starred in the Sundance and Cannes award-winning SLAM, directed Neptune Frost, and has released numerous albums, books and multidisciplinary works. 

Leap Life includes contributions from Carlos Niño, Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack), Moor Mother, Kamasi Washington, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Surya Botofasina.

Why do we have a restoration Levy?

Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building. As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.

If you would like to be kept up to date on progress with how we are using this fund then please follow us on social media @stlukesglasgow, and sign up to our mailing list where we will send out quarterly updates on the improvements that your donations are helping us make.
