Acts: St Paul and The Broken Bones + The Americans Venue: Glasgow Barrowland Date: 16 November 2018 “The Americans are in the building!” and that ain’t just the audaciously named support band, that’s L.A. and Alabama’s musical past; the blues and rock legends who recorded in the canyons and down in Fame Studios are surely

Hothouse Flowers: 6 November Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow This was something of a rescue job after my last experience of the Hothouse Flowers at Celtic Connections in 2013. The Fruitmarket show was a complete mess with Liam Ó Maonlaí, in particular, rambling incoherently and singing the same line of songs over and over again for

MC50: 10 November, O2 Academy, Glasgow MC5’s Kick Out the Jams is an album every record collection should have. A seminal piece of proto-punk that set the blueprint for a 1,000 other bands that followed in its wake. Hard to believe it was recorded 50 years ago or to be exact 50 years and 10

Slaves at Glasgow Barrowland, 8 November 2018 Picture the scene: You are 35, you lived through the mid-to-late nineties and early noughties, and experienced all that came with it… Great music, some truly cheesy dance music, and a perceived political shift in New Labour. You now live in a disillusioned society, the country’s politics are

Christy Moore: 3 November 2018 at The Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow On a rainy Saturday night in Glasgow I made my way through the streets of the East End towards the Barras. The streets that had welcomed 60,000 football fans only 2 hours earlier were now quiet with only the sound of a few passing cars

Shinedown: 30 October at O2 Academy, Glasgow Shinedown are one of the few support bands in the last 10/15 years that have managed to make an impression on me. First when they supported Alter Bridge in 2013 and again in 2017 when support for Iron Maiden. What I really liked about them, apart from the
