There’s not a lot of venues we haven’t been to over the years, and yet somehow December 2024 saw FOH’s first visit to the Barrowland Ballroom.
First built in 1934 to provide a space that could be used by the traders at Barrowland Markets for social events, it was extended only a few years later in order to cope with the demand.
Despite the original building being destroyed by fire in 1958 it was rebuilt, bigger and better, and was open again by 1960 before falling into disuse as dancing became less popular.
Revived during the 80s it has become home to any number of scottish bands over the years. It certainly provides a singular atmoshere and remains a historic lanmark of the UK music scene.
