Just discovered' Paul Carrack'. I knew his name and his association with Mike and the Mechanics but not much else. Turns out he was with Ace, session artist with Roxy Music, Squeeze, wrote a couple of songs for The Eagles and now is his own man, writing his own stuff and doing great covers of old classics. Superb, velvety, soulful voice, certainly one for the oldies. Can't wait to see him at the Playhouse in February.

His covers album Still Groovin is mostly superb, the strange thing is that the bonus tracks are the best covers on the album.

Blossoms were very good on Monday night, saw them at Liquid Rooms earlier in the year tae, but they were better at Potterrow.

***Frazerbob*** · 08-12-2016 10:47 AM

Party Fears Three are back at The Liquid Rooms on Thursday 29th December for the now legendary annual Christmas 80's electronic shindig. Brilliant night of Depeche Mode, Human League, Erasure, Ultravox, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Soft Cell, Simple Minds, Ah-ha, Heaven 17, Gary Numan, Bowie etc. Norman Brown will be on the wheels of steel after the gig with more electronic 80's tunes until the small hours. All for a tenner!

anyone off to TTF tomorrow?

**LustForLeith** · 11-12-2016 03:42 PM

Went to see The Fratellis last night at the Barras. Really good show although at times they sounded like a country band!

***Sylar*** · 12-12-2016 12:41 PM

Was at one of the best gigs I've been to in a very long time on Saturday night at the Garage in Glasgow - Beartooth (with support from Vanna and Trash Boat). An immense crowd and a stunning performance from Beartooth - I like the Garage as a venue - great sound, and super tight on the floor, with a great balcony area.

Off to see Yellowcard at the O2 ABC tonight perform their last ever gig in Scotland.

How did that go?

It's my best mates Mrs 40th birthday in January. As a result he is trying to get my wife and i to go with them to see Ultrasonic. Think its some sort of Source reunion or something. Told him we are to old for that but its what she wants her birthday lol.

***Godsahibby*** · 12-12-2016 05:08 PM

Off to see Super Furry Animals tonight. Playing something for the weekend and Radiator back to back.

***Sylar*** · 15-12-2016 09:16 AM

Yellowcard was a sad experience on Monday - I was 16 again for the full evening. Pure nostalgia and a lengthy set!

Seen Korn with support from Limp Bizkit last night - again, a pure nostalgia trip but both bands were really good (can't say anything about Madball, whom I had no interest in catching).

***Aldo*** · 20-12-2016 07:56 PM

Was at Twin Atlantic at the Barrowlands last Thursday and it's fair to say they didn't disappoint.

Outstanding gig.

I'd cheekily have asked to come to you wedding just to hear them!, :-)

***Sylar*** · 19-01-2017 03:13 PM

I had nothing planned for this evening but whilst out getting coffee at work earlier, I clocked The Dillinger Escape Plan guys heading into the QMU for soundcheck, so popped over to say hello (as I'm a fan) - now I'm on their guest list for this evening

***Moulin Yarns*** · 19-01-2017 03:32 PM

Celtic Connections starts tonight, got three gigs, The Hazey Janes and Liz Lochhead, Eliza Carty and Mull Historical Society on three consecutive nights.

**DH1875** · 20-01-2017 07:19 PM

Anyone seen noasis? If so, are they any good? Playing in Glasgow next month and thinking of heading along.

***Carheenlea*** · 22-01-2017 09:42 PM

This week I have Girl Band on Thursday night @ Summerhall followed by King Creosote @ The Old Fruitmarket on Friday night.

***Carheenlea*** · 26-01-2017 08:42 AM

Tickets purchased for Mogwai @ The Hydro on Dec 16th. Never been to the Hydro before so not sure what to expect. After taking on board some info from someone who experienced dodgy sound from a section of the seated areas, a mate has opted for standing tickets for us.
Tickets have also been purchased for Future Islands @ The Barrowlands on April 27th.

The View at Liquid Rooms in May.

Possibly go to this too. Although if you have your ticket already, I'll guess it's now sold out

Dunno if its sold out, but I do already have my ticket.

***Jim44*** · 27-01-2017 02:32 PM

Going to see JJ Gilmour, Ex Silencers singer, now great singer/songwriter in Stirling on Saturday. Then next Saturday, Paul Carrack, top man, at Edinburgh Fesival Theatre.

**Steve-O** · 30-01-2017 12:38 AM

Guns N Roses this Thursday in Wellington. Got a ticket for about £40 as they've been struggling to sell them - cheapest to start with was around £70 at the back of the stadium up to £200 odds down the front. Way too much for most Kiwis.

**Ayrshire Hibee** · 31-01-2017 11:14 PM

British Sea Power @ liquid rooms in april (will be my 17th BSP gig) love this band and so underrated. Worth checking out guys if you have never seen them ;-)

**LustForLeith** · 01-02-2017 09:18 AM

Got a Saturday ticket for TRNSMT or whatever it's called. Never been to Glasgow Green for a gig before!

***Sylar*** · 01-02-2017 09:19 AM

The Wonder Years (with support from PUP, Tiny Moving Parts and Trash Boat) at the QMU in Glasgow on Saturday!

Only the Sunday was anywhere near enticing me, but that's because of Biffy and I've seen them 7 times already!

There used to be 'Gig on the Green', which was excellent - I went 3 years in a row between 2000 and 2003 (I think?).

***The Modfather*** · 02-02-2017 02:49 PM

Anyone else going to see Miracle Glass Company at Voodoo Rooms on Friday?

I was going to go but it is part of some sort of club night rather than just a normal gig. I saw The Enemy at The Picturehouse at a similar sounding club night. They didn't come on until midnight and was a shorter set. Phoned the venue but the girl had no idea. Anyone know how I could find out?
