Aye Write: Stuart Cosgrove with Recollective, Barrowland Ballads
13th Mar 2020 • 7:45PM – 8:45PM • Mitchell Library
Stuart Cosgrove in conversation with this artists collective about their year-long project on the beloved Barrowland Ballroom.
Behind the blinking neon, at the very back of backstage, the artists of Recollective (Chris Leslie, Alison Irvine and Mitch Miller) spoke to musicians, stewards, cleaners, bar tenders, cloakroom staff and music fans (virgins and veterans) to capture the sweat-drenched untold stories and electric atmosphere of one of Glasgow’s most beloved institutions, the iconic Barrowland Ballroom. Join broadcaster and music obsessive Stuart Cosgrove who’ll be in conversation with the artists about their year-long project and the resulting book.
