King Tuts in Glasgow - wee downstairs bar, with stage up above - holds 300 people, has the best noise, sound, atmosphere and is just so intimate, yet bands who have played there include Oasis, Radiohead, The Killers, Pulp, Paolo Nutini and many more, on their road to stardom.....it has to be experienced to truly appreciate how good it is
Hope you're ok guys. Loving SM's Northern Soul stuff. Had many a visit to Wigan Casino as a youngster a couple of years back. OK smartarses, it closed in 1981, I'm very old, ok!
Mate I just dont do age! I'm 41 and when I grow up I want to be like Bez from the Happy Mondays... please log in to view this image
All good up here pal....love a bit of Northern Soul, was just a bit too young for Wigan though....there's quite a healthy Northern Soul/Mod/Scooter Boy/Ska scene up here, which we used to go to all the time - I love a good All-Nighter - unfortunately parenthood put the brakes on that, so don't get to them that often now
They have three bands on almost every night, and it's cheap as chips..... http://www.kingtuts.co.uk/our-history-so-far/ Since its inception in 1990, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut has been at the forefront of the Scottish live music scene and continues to be one of the most celebrated venues in the world. King Tut’s is an integral part of Glasgow’s thriving grassroots music scene as well as bringing the most exciting new talent around to the city. Playing a gig at this 300 capacity venue has become a seminal point in the career of an impressive array of artists leading NME to name King Tut’s ‘Britain’s Best Small Venue’ in 2011, and ‘quite possibly the finest small venue in the world’ in 2007. Radio 1 also named it ‘UK’s Best Live Venue’ three years in a row and King Tut’s was voted number 7 in New York Magazine’s ‘Follow Your Bliss List’ – a list of fifty euphoria-inducing destinations to visit before you die (above climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Swimming with Hippos in Botswana!) King Tut’s is an exciting showcase for new and emerging bands and as the venue that supported some of the music industry's biggest names at the start of their careers: from Oasis (who were famously signed by Alan McGee at the venue in 1993) to Radiohead, The Killers, Juliette Lewis, Pulp, My Chemical Romance, Florence & The Machine, Biffy Clyro, Manic Street Preachers, Snow Patrol, Frightened Rabbit and Paolo Nutini plus many, many, more in between. The venue also has its own Record Label and Lager as well as a highly acclaimed food menu
Nice one. I have done my posting for the night but sticking around to catch up and see what ncgandy pulls up from the vaults! The Very early on a Sunday morning sessions, loving it
I have just got myself a new toy. please log in to view this image Midi is fun but setting it up can be a monumental pain in the rear...
Has anyone else noticed how life is just one big faffing around with settings on various devices most days. As much as I am a self confessed tech geek it does suck the life out of you when somtimes the correct settings sulk and do not work
I love this song.....takes me back to a time when life was much simpler, sat in field or garden just watching the clouds float by......
