xpost with Ward
Just released I was in two G1 venues last weekend without even realising (I was even sitting in one when telling my recently-moved-back-to-Glasgow companions to boycott G1 venues, oops). Their tentacles creep far and wide.

I will unfortunately have to be in the very near vicinity on Dundas Street all day. Hoping it stays relatively quiet.

So the Arches has been closed :(
Most of their club nights were a bit shit but they had some good bands on. And Alien Wars
― paolo, Thursday, 11 June 2015 07:46 (eight years ago) link
Conjunction of the Arches having to close and the OrangeFest = fuck this city council
Saw some amazing gigs at the Arches just in the eight or so years I've been up here - Hijokaidan, Keiji Haino & Tony Conrad, Maryanne Amacher's one and only UK appearance, Marginal Consort, Swans etc etc. RIP

It makes me so angry. My other half is losing his job because of this.

yeah, really sad - it was such a great venue. very fond memories of seeing the boredoms there - and the palpable tension between tom verlaine and richard lloyd when television played.

― sktsh, Thursday, 11 June 2015 09:26 (eight years ago) link
If there was sufficient outcry, would this decision be reverseable in time to prevent the Arches folding? This seems a spectacularly stupid and counterproductive decision on many levels.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 June 2015 10:03 (eight years ago) link
I've signed an online petition, but I'm not sure if it will or can have any effect. It's a ridiculous bit of grandstanding on the "look! we're tackling drugs" front which will do nothing to tackle drugs and has put a giant hole in the Scottish arts scene.

Might be too late for that one, but you'll get updates as to next action if you sign it.

Orangefest was a bit of a damp squib (quite literally due to the weather last Saturday), but fuck them for even thinking it was a good idea.

hey im going to be in Glasgow from 16-26th September, first time in almost 3 years back in my home city <3 anyone know of anything decent on at that time in terms of culture and that? visual art, theatre, music, the dancing, etc.?
― Rave Van Donk (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 21:10 (eight years ago) link
From Edinburgh Waverley to Queen street then, is that quite central? Any nice places to drink round there where we could FAP?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 08:47 (eight years ago) link
Queen Street is pretty central - everything's pretty central really when it comes to central Glasgow.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 09:13 (eight years ago) link
great - what's a good pub round there?
then I'm thinking of coming in an evening next week or week after.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 09:18 (eight years ago) link
I only really drink around that area with my dad so am only familiar with old man pubs with a tendency to show horse-racing, I'm afraid...
― ailsa, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 09:40 (eight years ago) link
like old man pubs.
where have you had FAPs in the past?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 11:10 (eight years ago) link
Alpine Lodge has had at least one great FAP in it, last one I was at was in the Vale of Leven.
Obligatory NOT MONO post, even though I am not in Glasgow nor will be at this.

― arbiter of sorrow (aldo), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 11:18 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, the Vale is good, and right next to Queen Street Station. It's so resolutely old-man-centric that I had to get a key to go up the stairs to the lounge to use the ladies toilet because they've never installed one down the stairs.
That Alpen Lodge night was amazing. Other FAP venues I can think of are Pot Still and the Drum & Monkey. And Mono, obviously.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 11:26 (eight years ago) link
I like the Pot Still, personally, being a whisky fan. The Vale is good by me too.
Would be fun to see you Jim in Glasgow!

Excellent! I'll definitely be there.
Agreed - I'd really like to meet up with both new and known folks.
