They are failing to adhere to the basic rule of gigs - and this at a venue famed for having graffiti on the walls politely asking customers to 'shut up' during the music.
Justin Currie – accompanied by his Pallbearers – holds court in Glasgow, with a set including tracks from his beautifully crafted new album ‘This Is My Kingdom Now’ and fresh arrangements of Del Amitri favourites.
After an excellent opening by folkers Ranagri, Currie and his Pallbearers took to the stage for a mix of Del Amitri classics and Currie solo tracks that ticked all the boxes.
This is perfectly exemplified by set opener ‘Always the Last to Know', which Justin plays with just acoustic guitar, accompanied only by a subtle slide guitar.
The singer-songwriter points out that Acker Bilk - best known for his 1962 instrumental tune Stranger on the Shore - is one of many artists to have signed the back stage guest book.
Given the banalities and blandishments expressed by many of the current crop of so-called singer-songwriters who rely on a coterie of collaborators, it's refreshing to listen to Justin Currie, currently touring Lower Reaches, his third solo album since Del Amitri went on a hiatus that will end in January.
