Latest Concerts
Waxahatchee – Glasgow Barrowland
Some gigs are planned months in advance.
Leftfield – Glasgow Barrowland
When Leftfield played in 2023, it turned out to be one of the best gigs I had attended in years.
Thi Wurd – Blood on the Tracks
There are some albums that need no introduction.
James – Corn Exchange
The last time I saw James was at the Usher Hall with my sister, and it turned out to be one of the more memorable gig experiences of my life.
Throwing Muses – Glasgow Garage
Some bands become woven into your musical history so deeply that seeing them again decades later feels like reconnecting with an old friend.
Mogwai – Barrowlands
A couple of years ago I took my son to see Mogwai and we emerged from the venue slightly dazed, partially deaf and completely impressed.
