 Glasgow's most famous rock concert venue |
244 Gallowgate Glasgow G4 0TS United Kingdom +44 141 552 4601 http://www.glasgow-barrowland.... |
This cavernous former ballroom retains many, if not all, of its original features. This includes the fabulous glitter ball, which hangs perilously over the thronging masses. It's probably one of Glasgow's most popular rock and pop concert venues, with many bands preferring to play two or three nights here as opposed to a single performance in a hall with a bigger capacity but less character. Only well-known acts perform here and the atmosphere is fantastic—definitely worth a visit. It has even collected a few awards, voted second best small venue in Europe and the best in the UK.

 Classical concert venue |
Candleriggs Glasgow G1 1NP United Kingdom +44 141 287 5511 |
This Italian-style hall once housed the cheese, fruit and vegetable market, illustrated by the sculpted basket of fruit on the roof. It also became a venue for entertainment, with Charles Dickens reading from his own work on one occasion. Although City Hall is not open all year round, it is definitely a place worth visiting during events. It is one of the city's most impressive concert halls and hosts a number of cultural productions but it also provides space for other functions and meetings. The venue has an annexe, The Old Fruitmarket, which often caters for musical events of a less classical nature. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Converted Church |
93 Hyndland Street Glasgow G11 5PX United Kingdom +44 141 357 3868 |
The Cottier Theatre is undoubtedly one of the most atmospheric venues in the city. A converted church, it has retained the true beauty of the original building, characterised most prominently by magnificent stained glass windows. The theatre itself has a capacity of around 350 with Cottier's bar and restaurant on the premises, providing the opportunity before performances for quality food and drink in unique surroundings. There's a well-structured cultural programme, including theatre, music (ranging from popular to classical), dance and comedy. Despite its relatively small size, it quite often attracts well-known names to Glasgow and is certainly worth a look. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Where Oasis were discovered |
272a Vincent Street Glasgow G2 5RL United Kingdom +44 141 221 5279 http://www.kingtuts.co.uk/ |
Downstairs, the youth of Glasgow congregate in the bar to drink beer, eat cheap lunches, play pool and chat, lured in by the friendly atmosphere and superior jukebox selection. But upstairs, this venue offers an eclectic programme of local and well-known bands to its appreciative audiences, as well as a monthly comedy night. This is where Oasis were first spotted (and signed) so keep your eyes and ears open; you never know which imminently very hip and successful band you may see. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Jazz, rock and pantomimes |
6 Granville Street Charing Cross Glasgow G3 7DR United Kingdom +44 141 287 4855 |
The Mitchell Theatre complex is a truly breathtaking building, guarded on the outside by two imposing sculpted Titans. The interior is equally magnificent, though fully equipped and modern, and provides a splendid platform for a range of productions. The theatre itself is perhaps best known for its concerts and shows, including jazz, pantomime and variety performances. However, it is also a well-renowned dance venue and has welcomed many of Europe's most acclaimed choreographers. Whilst providing a showcase for Scotland's theatre companies, the Mitchell is also involved in children's workshops and amateur productions. The adjoined Moir Hall caters for a range of functions and lectures. Tickets for all performances can be obtained from the box office at King's Theatre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Festival concert venue |
Albion Street Glasgow G1 1NQ United Kingdom +44 141 287 5511 |
The Old Fruitmarket is a versatile venue specialising in live music. It hosts a range of cultural events and activities including theatre, exhibitions and business functions but is well renowned for its diverse programme of music. As the name suggests, the building used to be an old Victorian wholesale fruitmarket. It has a unique character and is highly spacious, with the capability to accommodate up to 1,000 people. This capacity is often tested during regular festivals such as Celtic Connections, Big Big Country and the Jazz Festival. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Quality versatile symphony orchestra |
73 Claremont Street Glasgow G3 7JB United Kingdom +44 141 226 3868 http://www.rsno.org.uk/ |
Scotland's national symphony orchestra is renowned for its versatility, performing a range of music from baroque to contemporary, opera to film (including the soundtracks from Braveheart and Batman Forever). The RSNO was formed in 1891 and although it is based in Glasgow, tours regularly to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Dundee. Its main concert seasons are the winter season (September-April) and the proms in summer, playing to a total audience of around 120,000 in venues such as the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Winning several Gramophone awards in recent years is a testament to the quality you can expect from an RSNO performance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Enormous multi-purpose venue |
Myres View Glasgow G3 8YW United Kingdom +44 (0)141 248 3000 http://www.secc.co.uk/ |
The Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre is an enormous venue, spanning 64 acres on the banks of the River Clyde, and accessible via its own low-level train station. With over 22,000 square meters of usable space, it hosts concerts, exhibitions and conferences of all sizes, like the Autumn Ideal Home Show. It also welcomes circuses, fun-fairs and a host of other one-off entertainment events. Its distinctive armadillo building (officially called the Clyde Auditorium) is an incredible feat of architecture and a credit to Glasgow. It seats 3,000, is fully-equipped and boasts impeccable acoustics. Alternatively, the SECC can cater for a capacity of up to 10,000 in another of its halls or a smaller affair of 600 in the more intimate Lomond suite. There are restaurants, a hotel, business centers, a bank and medical services available. There is almost nothing that cannot be done here - except have a look around the armadillo if you are not attending an event there. Review © 2007, Wcities |
