Long live Glasgow's king of rock
Voted the UK's best music venue three years in a row by Radio 1 listeners, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut celebrates 20 years at the forefront of the Scottish music scene this month.
But what makes such an unassuming, fairly average, and often cramped and sweaty basement pub in Glasgow's St Vincent Street such a firm favourite with a generation of fans, artists and the music press alike?
King Tut's was opened in February 1990 by DF Concerts founder Stuart Clumpass who borrowed the name from a New York club and aimed to provide a place where up and coming and established bands alike could showcase their talent seven nights a week.
