OILCAN - the musical Bold. Innovative.

Fully sung. Funny. Irreverant. Life affirming.

 

A musical blending contemporary rap with traditional Scottish airs.

 

Identity. Community. Social media.

 

To grease the wheels of power, each has their own oilcan...  

Artist Performing on Stage

Community writing of OILCAN is open to all over 16. No experience is necessary. Through collaborative FEEDER WORKSHOPS, participants are invited to contribute ideas, lyrics, and scripts that may shape the final production. As CREATIVE TEAMS emerge, so too will the OILCAN ARCHIVE CHEST. Herein is the amplification of unheard voices reflecting stories of political and social challenges and triumphs. Attendees can develop skills, connect with a wider artistic community, and potentially see their work both published and featured in a professional production.

Designed to encourage participants to apply to join the paid CREATIVE TEAMS, the first set of FEEDER WORKSHOPS ran in Glasgow during March 2025.

Sets are booked in June in Glasgow's West End, in Jedburgh,

and are in plan for the Highlands and Islands.
