One of these aspiring young artists happens to be a friend of mine. Glasgow holds many popular spots in the city centre for buskers. In the midst of Glasgow's abundant collection of night clubs and lively pubs there is still many places that can appeal to the more laid-back, orchestra-loving citizens.Įveryday, the streets of Glasgow are inhabited by a variety of musical acts both young and old, entertaining passers by with their own unique performances. I feel like the concert hall adds yet another unique aspect to the city's music scene. The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall has the capacity of 2475, obviously a larger audience than many venues in Glasgow that host gigs and concerts. From what I've read and heard, this venue seems to have an impressionable interior. I have only visited this venue once when I was young to see a pantomine and I have little memory of what the building looks like from the inside. Many of the concerts are during the day and this is yet another way in which music can be experienced in the city. Unlike the pop and dance culture of Glasgow's club scene, these venues offer day and night time shows. The Cottier's theatre, Strathclyde Suite and the Mitchell Library are just three of the seventeen venues all under the same company, 'Glasgow Life' who promote music within Glasgow. There is many various halls in Glasgow that are all connected and offer this same type of music. It offers a place for opera fans and people who perhaps prefer more traditional music than the upbeat popular music of today. This hall has a very diverse vibe from other music venues in the city. Although this hall is used for different events other than just concerts such as exhibitions and plays, the music is the main feature that makes this venue unique. It is also the host of the annual winter event, Celtic Connections and is home to the National Scottish Opera. The hall regularly hosts different shows of all types including choir concerts, foreign artist's tours and orchestras. It is situated at the very top of the street and looks down upon one of the cities most active avenues. The large, majestic building is the crown of Buchanan Street. The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is somewhere that caters to people of a more classical music taste.
I think this venue will remain the same for a while to come and people will be happy that way.Īlthough most of Glasgow's music scene- or most of what I personally post about- is made up of pop, folk and dance music, there is however a big part of Glasgow that is made up of a very different kind of music. Judging by most of the reviews on trip advisor it seems the old decaying building is a way in which memories within this venue are kept sacred. It's worn out interior and ancient neon sign at the front may downgrade the appearance of this venue but most people- like myself- believe that the shabby look of the ballroom gives it that bit of character that it's well known for. The Barrowlands is a traditional part of Glasgow that has kept the same dainty old fashioned look since it first opened all those years ago. As well as being a place which has attracted many well known artists over the years, it is still open as a market at weekends. It was built and opened in the early 30's as a music venue and a street market. This venue is well known to the people of Glasgow as ''The Barrowlands'' or even more colloquially ''The Barras''. One of Glasgow's most iconic spots, especially in music terms, is 'The Barrowland Ballroom'.
