Tenement Trail brings Scotland’s best musicians to Glasgow’s East End
THIS Saturday will see some of Scotland’s best musicians gather in Glasgow’s East End for Tenement Trail’s seventh year.
Taking over some of the cities most iconic venues, including the Barrowland, Saint Luke’s, BAaD, The Dam and Creative East End, Tenement Trail will take place over 13 venues and will provide a day of music from 1.45pm until 2.30am.
Headliners Fatherson are set to play one of their biggest hometown shows to date on Saturday at the Barrowland. Frontman Ross Leighton told The Evening Times: “It’s just such a good day of the best that Scotland has to offer.
“The music scene in Glasgow ebbs and flows, it tends to reinvent itself every 18 months. It just makes it more interesting when you see who is playing before you” Ross said.
More than 60 bands will play on Saturday including The Magic Gang, Baby Strange, Sea Girls, Dream Wife, Van Ives, and Zoe Graham. Many of the acts are emerging artists, tipped to dominate the scene in coming months.
