This is the heads up..
These events are free but ticketed, so you will need to get in fast if you want to come.

Glasgow has shaped some of the most inspired musicians in popular music, and influenced their most historic albums. Over three sessions during the 2011 Merchant City Festival the first AotC event will take place, reviewing and discussing three of those albums. Each session begins with a listen-through of the vinyl LP and will be followed by a discussion with some of the creators of the work, giving an insight into how the city influenced the band and the album, and to hear the stories behind its making.

Friday 22nd July, 5-7pm: James Grant of Love and Money with ‘Dogs in the Traffic’ (1991)
Sat 23rd July, 5-7pm: Zal Cleminson and Ted McKenna of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band with ‘Next’ (1973)
Sun 24th July, 5-7pm: Frances McKee of the Vaselines with ‘Dum-Dum’ (1989)
