My Glasgow Music Memories

|
This post will take the form of a photo/video blog, documenting my music memories in the City of Glasgow


My First Gig in Glasgow - On the way to 'Air Traffic' @ the Garage - 2007


Air Traffic - Just Abuse Me
The Garage, 2007
Air Traffic was one of the first gigs I went to without parental supervision. A massive group of us from school, my own year and the year above got on the train to Glasgow and had a right laugh. Air Traffic were one of my favourites for a while and although they're not around anymore, I still enjoy listening to them.

Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down
SECC, NOV 2009


Arctic Monkeys, SECC, Nov 2009 
I was lucky enough to get these tickets for free and had an amazing time. This was my second time seeing Arctic Monkeys and have seen them again since. Never fail to disappoint.

Poor Things perform at Glasgow's King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, Jan 2011

This band consist of a group of friends of mine from Perth who have titled themselves 'Poor Things'.  These three guys have experience gigging together and have been doing it for about 6 years now. A great local band to check out. This picture was taken when I saw them perform at King Tut's back in Jan 2011

Greg James DJ's @ 'Propaganda', O2 ABC, Sep 2011


Greg James DJ's @ 'Propaganda', O2 ABC, Sep 2011

Greg James has been one of my favourite DJ's since he started his 1pm-4pm slot after Fearne Cotton and before Scott Mills, weekdays on BBC RADIO 1. Usually an avid follower of his on Twitter, I got a massive shock to find out 1 HOUR before that he was to DJ at ABC on Sauchiehall Street. As I didn't have internet set up in my flat yet, I had been quite negligent to check twitter on my phone due to the costs of connecting to 3G.  After frantically zooming about to get ready and try to recruit some friends to come with me, I somehow managed to make it on time and to the front of the barrier. Safe to say I didn't move from that spot all night, lost my friends 5 minutes in and had the best night of my life.

Forever the Sickest Kids perform 'Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)

Forever the Sickest Kids are probably as much of a staple in my life as All Time Low. I saw these guys in October 2011 and as they were a band I never thought I'd see perform live, I was over the moon when I heard they were coming to Glasgow. Look out for them as an upcoming feature on this blog.

All Time Low obviously need no introduction after expressing how much I like them in an earlier blog post. This is them performing at Glasgow's O2 Academy in Jan of this year.
