Glasgow Music Venues - Slouch

Slouch opened on Bath Street in Glasgow’s city centre in September 2010. The Bar, Restaurant and Venue provides great food, a great atmosphere and celebrates music from the past 60 years.

I went to see an unsigned band in the venue called “Weekend City Scene”. This venue is perfect for local unsigned bands to have an intimate concert. With the small and homely venue the artists where able to talk to the crowd, you could see the band setting up showing that this was a live performance and getting you ready for when the band performed.

As a result of the small venue the music was loud which meant that for the time a band was playing you could speak much to other people, some may find this a good thing for the band as this means that an audience are concentrating on their music and really hearing it.

My favourite part was that you could watch the band in the venue but if you wanted a break or the band where finished playing you could walk through into the bar where usually music such as The Rolling Stones was playing and there is a great chilled out atmosphere.

After being at Slouch and also hearing others opinions of the venue it is a definite place that I, and many others will return to.
