Description

The Apollo legend retold in vivid detail. This book tells the story of the Glasgow Apollo, a legendary music venue that played host to some of the biggest names in rock'n'roll between 1973 and 1985. From ABBA to Zappa, Johnny Cash to the Style Council, the 'Purple Palace' was the place to be for live music. With new interviews, unseen photos, and commentary, this book brings to life the story of a rock'n'roll legend, told by those who made it happen. The book delves into what made the venue so special, from its high stage to its infamous bouncers and terrifying bouncing balcony. It also explores the impact of the Glasgow Apollo on dozens of acts, who recorded their live shows for release. This is a unique and fascinating look at a pivotal moment in music history. Written by Martin Kielty, a Glaswegian music journalist, band manager, and drummer, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of rock'n'roll.
