Walk this way.

Glasgow Music City Tours have collected Glasgow’s musical tall tales, myths, lies and wicked rumours.

Have you heard the story about the Barrowland star falling on David ‘The Starman’ Bowie?

Or how Sydney Devine stopped a rock ‘n’ roll riot? What about the legend of Lou Reed’s one song Apollo set?

Alex Harvey’s Nessie obsession? Glasgow council’s punk wars?

Buckle up your blue suede walking shoes and hear them all with today’s Big Deal from Glasgow Music City Tours.

Led by guides with years of experience in Glasgow’s music scene, the tours deliver an irreverent, informative look at the city’s iconic bands, the famous venues they played and the incendiary performances which became legends in their own show time.

With tales ranging from music hall to modern day, the tours offer something for every music fan, from folkie to punk.

And, with guest numbers limited to fifteen, these tours are the equivalent of an intimate, unplugged gig.

Valid for tours until the end of September, the vouchers are for two people to enjoy one of the following tours.

Happy guests

Glasgow Music City Tours have had plenty of applause on TripAdvisor:

‘Great music tour of Glasgow. I went on this tour with my girlfriend and father-in-law. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Great detail and well researched, the guide certainly knew her stuff. Everyone was encouraged to share their stories and experiences of the Glasgow music scene throughout the ages, which I thought brought a lot of intimacy to the tour. I will certainly be doing the second tour.’

‘Knowledgeable, funny and endearing tour. Great little tour… interesting places made interesting by a knowledgeable, tour guide. Enjoyed a few hours walking around a city I know and love from a slightly different perspective :-)’
