Description
The Arches: A Venue That Defied Its Bricks and Mortar. For almost 25 years, this former nightclub and theatre in Glasgow's Central Station was a creative hub that played a vital role in the lives of many Scottish artists. In 1991, its director Andy Arnold saw potential in the disused red brick Victorian railway arches and transformed them into one of Europe's most important venues. The Arches carved its own path, hosting some of the biggest names in music and theatre, while also providing a launchpad for emerging talent. The people who made the venue get to tell their story in this biography, which pieces together accounts from directors, DJs, performers, clubbers, artists, bar tenders, actors, audiences and staff. Through their stories, Brickwork reveals the indefinable spirit of a space that was always more than its bricks and mortar.
