A CITY open-top tour bus will soon be adding a music tour to its sightseeing offering in recognition of Glasgow’s thriving music scene.
City Sightseeing’s Glasgow music tour will be available on channel eight of the on-bus commentary system from January 20.
The tour will showcase Glasgow’s vast musical history, while promoting some of the city’s most iconic music venues including King Tut’s, Barrowlands, The Royal Concert Hall, SWG3 and the OVO Hydro.
The music tour will be narrated by the renowned multi-award-winning singer-songwriter, Eddi Reader, famed for her work as frontrunner of Fairground Attraction and solo work.
Reader’s recognisable voice is rooted in the heart of British music with a number of musical genres under her bow including, pop, folk music and her musical interpretation of the work of Robert Burns.
The tour will feature a range of interesting stories, facts, and some insider knowledge from Reader herself on what exactly makes Glasgow such a wonderful, vibrant and musical city.
Reader said: “I adore my town – it gave me music and romantic dreams that set me on a path to the future.
“I’m honoured to be given the opportunity to tell people all about the creative spirit of Glasgow, how
it seeps out of every sandstone corner and shines out of every Glaswegian.
“Follow me along the road while I show you the musical beauty of my town past, present and future.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
