I moved over to Glasgow about three years ago from Manchester. I’d lived in Manchester my whole life. I grew up there, studied there, worked there - I love it. There’s so many interesting things happening in Manchester, but I got to a point when I felt like I wasn’t doing much and needed a change.
I’ve always really liked Glasgow. I’ve got a lot of family up here so I had already spent a fair bit of time in the city. I knew there were a lot of really cool things happening here that I was interested in - especially in the music scene, so I just gave it a shot and luckily settled in really quickly.
Glasgow, like Manchester, has a great reputation for having a big music scene. The kind of shows I’d go to in Manchester were really similar to the ones happening up here, and the community I was around in Manchester seemed to have all of these links to Glasgow. Through friends in bands playing in the city, or working in places like Mono, I heard of all these really interesting things happening here which was a massive part of why I decided to move up.
