Unlike a slightly more high-profile reunion event, the ticketing website for the Scottish referendum tenth anniversary show is not expected to crash. But there will no doubt be much looking back in anger at the IMAX theatre at the Science Centre in Glasgow on 14 February as ‘the stars’ (it says) of the 2014 referendum gather to ‘reflect’ on the defining moment in their lives and ‘outline their hopes for the future’.
In a fine Scottish tradition, they clearly still see themselves as the moral, if not actual, victors of 2014
The headliner (surprise, surprise) is Alex Salmond, who will be in discussion with STV political journalist Bernard Ponsonby. From the flyer, it looks as if the supporting cast will feature Fergus Ewing, Joanna Cherry, the editor of the influential pro-indie blog Wings over Scotland Stu Campbell et al. Tickets cost 25 quid which includes a ‘meet and greet’ after the show – and that’s ‘greet’ as in say hello to, not in the Scottish sense of weep like a bairn.
