I love the historic esthetic of the building. The old world charm of Scottish architecture. It’s like stepping back into time and witnessing what someone like Rabbie Burns might have seen in his time.
One of the great music venues. It’s joy and nostalgia to walk the path to it and look at the number of gigs you have been to.
It’s one of my favourite music venues. Saw Suede and the Manics in the 90s there.
As good as everyone says. Seeing iconic bands within spitting distance and in a fierce sweat. Perfect.
Still not been to a gig there
Ah the Barras are better!
Some amazing experiences in there. The scream team supported by JAMC and then in the exterminator tour were both sensational evenings. Love that place
Been to many a gig there. Best times!
Favourite venue in the city
Seen Steve Earle there many times.
Elvis Costello twice.
Bob Dylan in 2004
St. Luke’s is also good up the street and round the corner.
This photo was taken at a Louis Dunford gig.
Saw The Orb an The Ramones there in the same week. Both brilliant but security was totally different for both good times.
Saw so many amazing gigs there in the late 90s and 2000s. The sprung floor made it.
I saw the Beta Band here in Portland on Wednesday night at the Crystal Ballroom, which also has a sprung floor, and loads of gig memories came flooding back.
I’ve not been to every gig venue in the world. But if there’s one as good as this place then it must be something else
Hasn’t changed a bit since my first visit, Soul Asylum, in 93 or 94

Best venue in the UK, nevermind Scotland
Does Barrow-In-Furness have a ‘Glasgowland’?
