Who knows, maybe its the stale smell of urine lingering in the air, the fact that everything you touch leaves a sticky residue on your fingers for a fortnight or simply the ailing décor - but there is simply no better venue than The Glasgow Barrowlands.
This rough and ready venue has played host to some of the most important acts around including Oasis, U2 and Hole ...sorry, that last one was just for me. But on a serious note, this haunting room has seen the birth and death of more A list talent than some of the most prestigious venues worldwide.
I have had the absolute pleasure of visiting The Barras to see various bands over the years and a I have to say, this place is in a league of its own. Throughout the country we are seeing massive venues being thrown up costing millions and millions of pounds, but I can guarantee you - they will be no match for the mighty Barrowlands.
For years this musical institution has been a favourite of many performers including one of our biggest national exports - Billy Connolly. He describes the venue as "capturing the essence of what Scottish people are", and it's no secret that we Scots have a reputation for being rowdy crowd.
Below you will find a list of events and gigs being held at Glasgow's Barrowlands. Take my advice, go. Experience the most electric, fragile and mesmerising atmosphere only The Barras can produce.
