I wouldn't hang about round that area!

13th note is good (King Street).
Might be something on at the Tron theatre?

Its an interesting area around the barras. Not overly dodgy but there will be plenty of characters.

If its a Tuesday night, I highly recommend

The above is 2 mins from Barrowlands. There is a full show 7-8pm on Thursday. It's good. Afterwards, take a stroll up to Bar 91 on Candleriggs and savour a pint of the draft West St Mungo.

Celtic Connections opening concert is on that night. I went 2 years ago and it was superb.

** Edit, just checked and it's all sold out, maybe scout about there for someone selling their tickets on the door?

Just noticed the fire station across the road from barrowlands, parking is sorted 😉 at is the cups o tea.

So if I'm down in time Aberdeen - Glasgow drive (no bike) I'll do the kinetics theatre. If i miss that I'm not sure what I'll do.

Buckie

Its the wrong direction

Well done on the 1st silly answer 😀

Not very - mostly wooden weapons. Though I did almost get myself an eye last month 😉

It's in Hillington, though, probably a bit far for you...

Aw someone beat me with Sharmanka! You get the full show on a Thursday evening. Please support them they need a new house! Amazing thoughtful, humourous kinetic sculptures, built by Eduard. He Had to leave russia as his art was not "approved" and his pals were slowly being sent to jail.
