About this Event

The Scottish Music Centre is thrilled to partner with Glasgow City Music Tours for a celebration of their recently published book, Glasgow's Greatest Hits: Tales from the city of music.

Dive into Glasgow’s vibrant musical heritage with authors Fiona Shepherd, Alison Stroak, and Jonathan Trew as they guide you through the people, places, and events that have shaped the UK's first UNESCO City of Music. From folk to funk, and pop to punk, this entertaining guide celebrates everything from Simple Minds and The Blue Nile to Belle & Sebastian and the legendary Apollo.

Alongside these musical tales, we'll be toasting the occasion with a special tasting from The Glasgow Distillery.
