Aye. Arse & elbow come to mind. Slowly killing the cultural hub in the building. CCA in Sauchiehall St gone. Art School in a chaotic rebuild. City becoming a student accommodation project in every available space. Got a bit of an exhausted feel about it
👏👏👏
Been in a few times but not recently. Understand the space is is under threat from the Council with eviction threats, rent increases etc. Crazy
103 Trongate?
Yeah I'd agree - always good to find one with sign writing done by hand & faded into to past
Thats one to savour. A keeper
Aaah. Both my wife & I have Scottish emigre's to Canada. Was a thing in 60s/70s (probably like your family) - rarely come back as few left here to reunite with. And kilt's a must
Thanks. Your aunt is very wise . We have great architecture in the city that is sometimes forgotten & overlooked. Enjoy your week
Yeah. It's a bit if classy aging
😂😂 those are the Atlantids statues in Argyle St. Entrance to an old business called Stewart & McDonald. Well played 👏👏 and yep - always look up
Nice- love the Saks sign
Great photo Halen & sorry to hear about your mums passing. Lost mine last year. Similarly we chose a pic my late dad used to say "she looked a million dollars". As does your mum
Yep. Known name in Glasgow as furniture makers & undertakers. Latter still a going concern . This building on backed onto Buchanan St House of Fraser store. They gad a business relationship I think
It is - not why I was there but yes, part of diverted walking route
Yeah it's pretty cool. Getting older, becoming more nostalgic I look out for them around Glasgow (& elsewhere)
Ghost sign Mitchell Lane Glasgow

Love a ghost sign. Diverted walk down Mitchell Lane in a subdued Glasgow city centre.
Looked up saw this

Completely Halen. Indescribable

Played some from the swinging 60's earlier- now offline for another Glasgow derby with a weak line up.
😆😆 yep @gerardojoseph.bsky.social I started here with Radiogram & worked through Dansette, HiFi, Separates, Music Centre, Stacking System now reached Separate again
Nice theme Phil, excellent picks 👌
HiFi? I got a verbal battering for using that in a conversation a few years back. But I stood my ground !!!
I'll have a listen Ed. Nothing ventured and all that
Completely
Yep my mates older brothers listened to it as well Ed.
Probably need to listen again I suppose. At the time I wanted 3 mins of energy / melody not endless solo noodling & was too young to appreciate
My bro-in-law was a session musician who played with some - he's boring sometimes
The My Bag is a US white label promo Ged. Plays same both sides - quality rubbish
