CONCERTS

APOLLO GIGS OF THE SEVENTIES

In the 70`s members of Glasgow`s Famous Gallon Club [then known as the Scotstoun boys]would head off to the Apollo theatre to watch some of the greatest bands of all time.

The Apollo provided artists with the opportunity to perform in front of one of the most discerning and demanding audiences in the world. Such was its reputation that one relieved act is reputed to have printed T-shirts saying: "....I played the Apollo and survived". Others, such as Joe Loss, Roxy Music, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Status Quo and the SAHB made their names at the venue and many including Paul McCartney, Nazareth and The Stranglers recorded classic live sets there. Rose McDowall of Strawberry Switchblade says that for her "...it was an amazing feeling playing there, better than the Albert Hall". Tom Robinson told us that the Apollo audience was "just the wildest, warmest audience a band could ever want."
