Indeed they did, think it was 1990 if memory serves. They were the headline act and the show sold out. I'm pretty sure muhoney were not on the bill.

Was living in ediboro at the time (and well into my subpop) so didn't make the show but quite a few friends did.


According to various Nirvana gigographies, it was Sat. 30th November 1991 at the QMU, with Shonen Knife and Captain America in support. See here and here (scroll down, there's even scans of tickets on this one!). No sign of a Glasgow gig in 1990, though they did play Edinburgh both years. In fact it appears that the QMU show was the one and only time they played Glasgow.

Aye, '91 it must have been.

they played Glasgow when I was in Edinburgh, Edinburgh when I was in Glasgow... :roll:

There was a show sheduled for the SECC in Glasgow in '94, but it was cancelled for some reason or another.

Ticket office in Virgin gave full refunds but allowed folks to keep the ticket stubs as a souvenir.

Right, balconies, so we're probably talking Tiffanys or Night Moves. Night Moves?

I have some snaps - featuring what I presume is those balconies - of the Fire Engines playing there. I must get a scanner one of these days.

Thanks, SL. I hadn't realised it was being turned into a hotel.

And thanks for the photos.

They've been asked the question.

"Were Hue and Cry much of an influence on you guys?"
"I before E, except after C" works in most cases but there are exceptions.

Howdy

Not that I'm much of a hippy, but...

That well known sailor Dougie Thomson is from Glasgow. He was on the boat that won the Fastnet race that Simon le Bon almost drowned in after The Drum capsized.

If this seems a tenuous link for Glasgow's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I should also point out that he plays bass for Supertramp.

On a really tenuous link, what about all the great live albums recorded here, usually in The Apollo. On Genesis' Three Sides Live, Phil Collins launches into a burst of I Belong To Glasgow. Which is, an interesting listen.

To my shame, I saw Supertramp playing the City Halls in 1974 or '75 (Crime Of The Century? Definitely).

I also saw Genesis, at the Apollo, but at least Gabriel was still with them, and Collins was thankfully well hidden behind the drum kit.

Going back still further, I recently bought my mother a CD by the Clyde Valley Stompers featuring Mary McGowan. What's important about it is that the first half of it was recorded live at the St. Andrews Halls in June 1956. The sound quality is surprisingly good, and even though Trad Jazz isn't my scene, the musicianship is at least as good, if not better, than all that Kenny Ball/Acker Bilk stuff.
The highlight of the CD has got to be "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate", if only for the title.
