On the day that Jamaica celebrates 50 years of Independence, we ask, will Scotland follow suit? With speakers from the Yes and No campaigns alongside Jamaicans living in Scotland and a Glasgow councillor who was there, in Kingston, Jamaica on 6 August 1962.
This is a discussion with a difference. Lead by Jamaican poet, fiction writer and Glasgow University lecturer Kei Miller he will tell you a little bit about each of the speakers but before they utter a word, he'll be coming to YOU the audience and you will be invited to tell the speakers what you want to know from them. They will then respond to your questions drawing on their own experiences.
Starting at 6pm and ending at 8pm we expect a lively and good natured discussion and we hope you will hang around for the Jamaica 50 Open Mic Night which starts at 8.30pm.
Speakers will be confirmed closer to the time.
