History:
Here at Glasgow Stage Crew we pride ourselves with our long history of working with various bands, promoters and touring crew from around the world not to mention being the first crew to supply the man power for some of the best and most unique venues in the music business like the Barrowland Ballroom. Below is a small glimpse into our past..
Glasgow Apollo:
We Started off work at the Glasgow Apollo in 1976 and crewed there until the end in 1985 when The Style Council sadly played the last ever Concert to be held there.
Barrowlands Ballroom:
A venue that has one of the most colourful histories, a dance hall turned rock venue in 1982 when we supplied the crew for the first gig which Simple Minds had the pleasure of playing. Still to this day we supply crew for the Barrowlands, known to many as the best venue in the world.SECC:
What used to be the derelict Queens dock site at finniestion was turned into a purpose built exhibition and conference centre, and in 1986 we supplied the crew for the first ever concert, which was UB40. Since then we have been supplying crew for the worlds leading act's as they grace this venue.Outdoor:
The time was 1983, the place was Ibrox stadium and Glasgow Stage Crew helped Simple Minds to hold the first ever outdoor concert in Scotland. From there we have also been the crew to supply the man power to many of Scotland's major outdoor musical events.. including the very first "T in the Park" in 1994 which has continued to grow in popularity through the years. In 2002 we also supplied crew for the opening event of Loch Lomond Shores a gateway to Scotland’s first National Park.Other:
Because we have been around for such a long time, we cant list everything that we have done but we were also the first crew to work in the Royal Concert Hall in 1990 and also The Glasgow Academy in 2002. Our work isn't just with the larger venues but even hotels and smaller venues all around Scotland.As you can see, throughout the years Glasgow Stage Crew has been there to help build and support many events around Scotland. We are proud to have been the backbone that has helped shape Scotland's music history over the years with our hard work and dedication.
