Then & Now
50 Years of Adventures in the Record Industry
(1975-2025)
Cottiers, 93 – 96 Hyndland Srtreet, Glasgow G11 5PU
Tom Robinson presents an evening of songs and stories from fifty years wandering the wilder shores of the Record Industry.
Classic hits such as ‘War Baby’, ‘Up Against the Wall’, and ‘2-4-6-8 Motorway’ rub shoulders with Radio 1 ban for ‘Glad to be Gay’, rocking against racism with The Clash, writing songs with Elton John, headlining Glasto with Peter Gabriel, drug smuggling in East Germany, two nervous breakdowns and a year in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman.
Plus fan favourites from his cast back catalogue, spanning ‘Café Society’ in 1975 to his acclaimed comeback album ‘Only The Now’.
