This came from Footstompin Music's site :

Normally, I'd just link it, but I originally contributed a chunk of the info, and I can provide some updates, so thought it'd be clearer.

Footstompin.com is a great site with a lot of input from Simon Thoumire.

Sessions in Glasgow

Here are some places to play or hear traditional music in Glasgow as recommended by our readers:

Brian writes "The Victoria Bar on a Friday night is always a popular session, I occasionally travel through from Edinburgh to play in it. There is also, I believe, a session on a Wednesday night in the Ben Nevis on Argyle Street."

Steven writes "Babbity Bowster in the Merchant City on a Saturday
Laurie's at King St and Parnie St any night, but also Saturday
Cafe Source at St Andrew's In The Square on Wednesday evening - singing session
Tue and Sun evenings at Uisge Beatha on Woodlands road for mixed tunes and singing seshes.
I think the Clutha Vaults is doing stuff one evening. Not sure which."

OK.. UPDATES

Tuesday evening at UIsge Beatha is dormant at present. Sunday evenings are still liveley and busy.
Clutha Vaults sesh is, I believe, on Mondays.
There is also a session in Wintersgills on Great Western Road on a Thursday, now.
These sessions will have a strong singing component.



Hughie writes "In the city centre go to Ye Olde Scotia Inn (pictured) in Stockwell street , this place has an amazing folk history. Walk down Byres road, and discover whats available, in the little lanes tucked away here and there you will find great pubs with an even greater atmosphere. Just outside Glasgow discover the great acoustic sessions at The Howwood Inn, Howwood near Johnstone this is an amazing venue".

Jennifer writes "There is a session from 9pm on Wednesdays and Sundays in the Ben Nevis Bar on Argyll St. The Park Bar some Thurs, and Sundays. The session in Babbitys on a Saturday is from about 4.30ish".

Teesh Teesh posed the question: Where can I hear Irish music in Scotland?. Glasgow figured largely in the replies.

Simon writes "Sharkey's pub (not sure where it is) seems to me to be a hub of Irish music. Also St Rochs High School on a Tuesday night has Irish music teaching - led by Frank McArdle of 120 kids. They will also be able to point you in the right direction"

John writes "Try Sharkey's session behind Citizen's Theatre every Monday, it an Irish session. Also Babbity Bowsers on Saturday/Sundays, Scotia bar, Clutha and Victoria bar (last 3 all very close together), Park bar near Kelvingrove Art Gallery for highland music (great Scottish stuff)".

Note to GUEST, Wyllow:
All of the sessions mentioned will be free admission.

In addition, the Star Club is on every Thursday evening with various guest artists- door charge about £6.

If you need any more info, you can either ask in this thread or PM me. (although you can't do the PM thing as a Guest....)


Cheers
