Eckieboy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Montrose seems to be getting bigger & bigger acts playing there. The latest announcement in Bryan Adams. Anyone seen a big act in an unlikely venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Enter Shikari at Kilmarnock Grand Hall was one. Actually a pretty spectacular show from them. Pretty sure Kasabian did a show in there touring the last album as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waal Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Biffy Clyro in a barn near Forres. They played the main stage at Download a week or so later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Morrissey played Hawick town hall in the borders a couple years back which I found strange, also Nirvana's acoustic set at the southern bar in Edinburgh in the early 90s takes some beating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Did anyone happen to catch Biffy Clyro in some wee shitey nightclub on their first album? 204 club in Greenock had them not long before they played at Gig on the Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've planted a seed of doubt now but I'm sure that's where I saw him. Have also seen Fairport Convention at the Five Arches pub in Dumfries.
