Glasgow music acts including The Fratellis, Mogwai and Franz Ferdinand are set to feature in a new BBC documentary celebrating the legacy of Glasgow’s beloved Barrowland Ballroom.
Screening on New Year’s Day on BBC Alba, The Barrowland Roar will feature countless Scottish musicians telling tales from the east end venue. Presented by musician Iain ‘Spanish’ Mackay, the programme will see him get advice from other acts before his first show at the venue.
He’ll also speak to the staff at the Barrowlands, such as manager Tom Joyes and doorman Willie Thomson - whose love for the building goes so deep he has the world-famous sign tattooed on his body.
