MINI—FESTIVAL 10 DAYS IN MAY
Various venues. Glasgow, Fri 21-Sun 30 May
Glasgow has long been known as a great place for live music and these days are no different. Franz Ferdinand is the latest in a long line of great Glasgow bands, and their success looks likely to open the doors for many other acts as the record industry swarms to the rainy city.
And so to show off the best of that talent, a handful of promoters and venues have gotten together to produce 10 Days in May — an alternative mini-festival that includes a number of high profile shows from the best Glasgow has to offer, as well as a handful of touring bands.
But it’s not just about the music. The festival is being produced in conjunction with One in Four, the charity that raises mental health awareness in Scotland. At all the festival events it will be providing a booklet on mental health issues which comes with a free CD of exclusive tracks from pretty much a who’s who of Glasgow indie over the years (Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai and many more).
