We’re beyond ecstatic, kind of in a state of non-belief, that we are able to present a weekend of our favourite music ever from a selection of artists from across Night School’s history.

The first artists to be announced are Rose McDowall, Tristwch Y Fenywod, Guttersnipe, Cucina Povera, Amor, Yu Ching, Karl D’Silva and Free Love.

The festival will take place at Fairfield Social Club in Govan, an historic social club with roots in Govan’s shipbuilding history. The club is an active social hub and contains 3 spaces, one of which will be for live music + DJs for the festival, so there’s plenty of space to dance, take a breather, mingle.

We will be revealing more of the line up as we go. For this first announcement, we are making cheaper weekend tickets available, individual day tickets will come later.

I really hope to see you there and thank every single person who’s ever bought anything, said a nice thing, been to a show or shown up in anyway to support the label and each other.

Today we’re announcing the first official Strawberry Switchblade merch to be made available in 40 years. This is the first drop.

These shirts have been made with the blessing and collaboration of Strawberry Switchblade.

10 years ago when we were planning the release of the 1982 4 Piece Demo, it was always in the plan to make Strawberry Switchblade shirts to accompany it. It’s taken a while…

When I first fell in love with the band as a teenager, like a lot of fans I bought Strawberry Switchblade merch wherever I could find it. These were bootlegged shirts, badges, patches made by enthusiasts, genuine fans and opportunists alike. While we’re not here to judge it always felt a little off that the members of Strawberry Switchblade were never able to represent themselves to their fans in this way. This is the thinking behind designing and making Strawberry Switchblade merch now, in 2026.

For the first drop, there are 3 designs. 2 are new designs based on the 1982 4 Piece Demo release and featuring the original, surviving contact sheet photographs by Peter McArthur. These are designed by Musheto Fernandez in Glasgow. The other design is a reproduction of the classic Since Yesterday 12” single art from later in the band’s career, the most recognisable version of the group, and is probably the most commonly bootlegged image.

These shirts have been made with the blessing and collaboration of Strawberry Switchblade.

These will be available at first on the Night School Bandcamp. There are two shipping locations: UK and USA for optimum shipping rates. 

We will be taking Pre-orders and shipping these at the end of April from both locations.

We are very excited to announce the latest recordings by Rose McDowall. Our Twisted Love E.P. is the most contemporary recorded document by Rose McDowall and marks her return to touring and recording.

Recorded with her long-serving band, it continues her exploration of psychedelic folk forms and, particularly in the near 9 minute title track, showcases her minimalist, affecting songwriting to shimmering effect.

Limited to 500 on Black Vinyl, 12: Ep. With Insert and Download Card

You can listen / pre-order in the Night School Shop or via Monorail / Rough Trade / Norman / Revolver USA / Boomkat / Picadilly Records
