Glasgow, 1889 - 29 young lives lost in a single heartbeat. The forgotten voices behind the Templeton weaving shed disaster. THE TEMPLETON GIRLS Date & Time: October 29, 2026 at 7:30 PM (BST) Venue: Calton Heritage Learning Centre On November 1, 1889, Glasgow Green was struck by a devastating disaster when the wall of the under-construction Templeton Carpet Factory collapsed onto the weaving sheds below, tragically claiming the lives of 29 young women and girls in an instant. The Templeton Girls is a powerful performed reading by Witsherface. Moving and respectful, the reading combines dramatic narrative with a deeply evocative live music score featuring original songs by celebrated Scottish singer-songwriter Lynnie Carson. Join us to honour their memory, celebrate their lives, and remember the 29 weavers not only for how they died, but for who they were. THE TEMPLETON GIRLS
